  2. Theory of Colours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Colours

    Light spectrum, from Theory of Colours – Goethe observed that colour arises at the edges, and the spectrum occurs where these coloured edges overlap.. Theory of Colours (German: Zur Farbenlehre) is a book by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the poet's views on the nature of colours and how they are perceived by humans.

  3. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    As illustrated by a straight line on the chromaticity diagram, simple two-white blends will have a pink bias, becoming most severe in the middle. A small amount of green light, provided by another LED, could correct the problem. [38] Some products are RGBWW, i.e. RGBW with tunable white. [39] A final class of white LED with mixed light is dim ...

  4. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Color theory, or more specifically traditional color theory, is a historical body of knowledge describing the behavior of colors, namely in color mixing, color contrast effects, color harmony, color schemes and color symbolism. [1] Modern color theory is generally referred to as color science.

  5. Spectral color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_color

    A rainbow is a decomposition of white light into all of the spectral colors. Laser beams are monochromatic light, thereby exhibiting spectral colors. A spectral color is a color that is evoked by monochromatic light, i.e. either a spectral line with a single wavelength or frequency of light in the visible spectrum, or a relatively narrow spectral band (e.g. lasers).

  6. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    The wavelength of the light emitted, and thus its color, depends on the band gap energy of the materials forming the p-n junction. In silicon or germanium diodes, the electrons and holes usually recombine by a non-radiative transition , which produces no optical emission, because these are indirect band gap materials.

  7. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    The observer then perceives a cyan (or magenta) square on the blank sheet. This complementary color afterimage is more easily explained by the trichromatic color theory (Young–Helmholtz theory) than the traditional RYB color theory; in the opponent-process theory, fatigue of pathways promoting red produces the illusion of a cyan square. [39]

  8. Color charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

    Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.

  9. RGB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

    Full color image along with its R, G, and B components Additive color mixing demonstrated with CD covers used as beam splitters A diagram demonstrating additive color with RGB. The RGB color model is an additive color model [1] in which the red, green, and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad ...
