Violet light has a wavelength between approximately 380 and 435 nanometers. The color's name is derived from the Viola genus of flowers. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, violet is produced by mixing red and blue light, with more blue than red.
The tertiary color on the HSV color wheel (also known as the RGB color wheel) precisely halfway between blue and magenta is called color wheel violet. This tone of violet—an approximation of the color violet at about 417 nanometers as plotted on the CIE chromaticity diagram —is shown at right.
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which the red, green and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.
Primary colors. Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors of the RYB color model. 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 ( RYB) or as red, green and blue ( RGB ). [citation needed]
In the traditional RYB color model, the complementary color pairs are red – green, yellow – purple, and blue – orange. Opponent process theory suggests that the most contrasting color pairs are red–green and blue–yellow. The black - white color pair is common to all the above theories.
Violet refers to any colour perceptually evoked by light with a predominant wavelength of roughly 380–450 nm. Tones of violet tending towards the blue are called indigo. Purple colors are colors that are various blends of violet or blue light with red light.
On the RGB color wheel, magenta is the color between rose and violet, and halfway between red and blue. This color is called magenta in X11 and fuchsia in HTML . In the RGB color model, it is created by combining equal intensities of red and blue light.
Artists' pigments and colored pencils labeled as purple are typically colored the red-violet color. On an RYB color wheel, the so-called red-violet color is the color between red and violet.
It is a medium violet. This tone of lavender would be the approximate color resulting from a mix of 50% violet paint and 50% white paint. This tone of lavender may be regarded as actual lavender and the other tones displayed in this article can be regarded as all variations on this shade.
The test chart shows the full 256 levels of the red, green, and blue (RGB) primary colors and cyan, magenta, and yellow complementary colors, along with a full 256-level grayscale. Gradients of RGB intermediate colors (orange, lime green, sea green, sky blue, violet, and fuchsia), and a full hue spectrum are also present.
