  2. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    Physical mixing processes, e.g. mixing light beams or oil paints, will follow one or a hybrid of these 3 models. [1] Each mixing model is associated with several color models, depending on the approximate primary colors used. The most common color models are optimized to human trichromatic color vision, therefore comprising three primary colors.

  3. Paint mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_mixing

    Mixing pigments for the purpose of creating realistic paintings with diverse color gamuts is known to have been practiced at least since Ancient Greece.The identity of a/the set of minimal pigments to mix diverse gamuts has long been the subject of speculation by theorists whose claims have changed over time, for example Pliny's white, black, one or another red, and "sil", which might have ...

  4. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    A color model is an abstract model intended to describe the ways that colors behave, especially in color mixing. Most color models are defined by the interaction of multiple primary colors. Since most humans are trichromatic, color models that want to reproduce a meaningful portion of a human's perceptual gamut must use at least three primaries ...

  5. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading. [1]

  6. Color chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart

    Color chips or color samples from a plastic pellet manufacturer that enables customers to evaluate the color range as molded objects to see final effects. A color chart or color reference card is a flat, physical object that has many different color samples present. They can be available as a single-page chart, or in the form of swatchbooks or ...

  7. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    A RYB color wheel with tertiary colors described under the modern definition. RYB is a subtractive mixing color model, used to estimate the mixing of pigments (e.g. paint) in traditional color theory, with primary colors red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors are green, purple, and orange as demonstrated here:

  8. List of color spaces and their uses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_spaces_and...

    RGB (red, green, blue) describes the chromaticity component of a given color, when excluding luminance. RGB itself is not a color space, it is a color model. There are many different color spaces that employ this color model to describe their chromaticities because the R/G/B chromaticities are one facet for reproducing color in CRT & LED displays.

  9. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    The subtractive color mixing model predicts the resultant spectral power distribution of light filtered through overlaid partially absorbing materials on a reflecting or transparent surface. Each layer partially absorbs some wavelengths of light from the illumination spectrum while letting others pass through, resulting in a colored appearance.
