    Each color code listed is a shorthand for the RGB value. For example, code 609 is equivalent to RGB code 102-0-153 or HEX code #660099. Safest web colors. Designers were encouraged [by whom?] to stick to these 216 "web-safe" colors in their websites because there were a lot of 8-bit color displays when the 216-color palette was developed.

  3. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)

    In the CMYK color model used in printing, violet is created with a combination of magenta and cyan pigments, with more magenta than cyan. On the RGB / CMY ( K) color wheel, violet is located between blue and magenta. Violet is closely associated with purple.

    The normal three kinds of light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in the human eye (cone cells) respond most to yellow (long wavelength or L), green (medium or M), and violet (short or S) light (peak wavelengths near 570 nm, 540 nm and 440 nm, respectively [7] ).

    In the Munsell color system, this color at its maximum chroma of 12 is called Red-Purple, or more specifically Munsell 5RP. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names

    In computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file, which maps certain strings to RGB color values. It was traditionally shipped with every X11 installation, hence the name, and is usually located in <X11root> /lib/X11/rgb.txt .

  7. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In the RGB model, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. The complementary primary–secondary combinations are red – cyan, green – magenta, and blue – yellow. In the RGB color model, the light of two complementary colors, such as red and cyan, combined at full intensity, will make white light, since two complementary colors contain ...

    RGBA color model. Example of an RGBA image composited over a checkerboard background. alpha is 0% at the top and 100% at the bottom. RGBA stands for red green blue alpha. While it is sometimes described as a color space, it is actually a three-channel RGB color model supplemented with a fourth alpha channel.

    The CIE 1931 RGB color space and CIE 1931 XYZ color space were created by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1931. They resulted from a series of experiments done in the late 1920s by William David Wright using ten observers and John Guild using seven observers.

    The theory of color includes the color complements; color balance; and classification of primary colors (traditionally red, yellow, blue ), secondary colors (traditionally orange, green, purple) and tertiary colors. The study of colors in general is called color science .

    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.
