  2. RYB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

    RYB (an abbreviation of redyellowblue) is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. [1] Under traditional color theory , this set of primary colors was advocated by Moses Harris , Michel Eugène Chevreul , Johannes Itten and Josef Albers , and applied by ...

  3. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    RYB (red, yellow, blue) is the traditional set of primary colors used for mixing pigments. It is used in art and art education, particularly in painting. It predated modern scientific color theory. Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors of the RYB color "wheel". The secondary colors, violet (or purple), orange, and green (VOG) make up ...

  4. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    The most common color mixing models are the additive primary colors (red, green, blue) and the subtractive primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow). Red, yellow and blue are also commonly taught as primary colours (usually in the context of subtractive colour mixing as opposed to additive colour mixing), despite some criticism due to its lack of ...

  5. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    A simulated example of additive color mixing in the RGB model. The primaries red, green, and blue combine pairwise to produce the additive secondaries cyan, magenta, and yellow. Combining all three primaries (center) produces white. Additive mixing combines two or more colors into a mixture with brightness equal to the sum of the components ...

  6. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In this traditional scheme, a complementary color pair contains one primary color (yellow, blue or red) and a secondary color (green, purple or orange). The complement of any primary color can be made by combining the two other primary colors. For example, to achieve the complement of yellow (a primary color) one could combine red and blue.

  7. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Color theory asserts three pure primary colors that can be used to mix all possible colors. These are sometimes considered as red, yellow and blue or as red, green and blue . [citation needed] Ostensibly, any failure of specific paints or inks to match this ideal performance is due to the impurity or imperfection of the colorants.

  8. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    Primary colors of the CMY color model: cyan, magenta, and yellow, mixed to form secondary colors red, green, and blue. The RGB color model is an additive mixing model, used to estimate the mixing of colored light, with primary colors red, green, and blue. The secondary colors are yellow, cyan and magenta as demonstrated here:

  9. List of colors by shade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_by_shade

    In practice, browns are created by mixing two complementary colors from the RYB color scheme (combining all three primary colors). In theory, such combinations should produce black, but produce brown because most commercially available blue pigments tend to be comparatively weaker; [ citation needed ] the stronger red and yellow colors prevail ...
