  2. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Shades of violet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_violet

    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 violetan approximation of the color violet at about 417 nanometers as plotted on the CIE chromaticity diagram —is shown at right.

  4. RGB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model

    Hexadecimal 8-bit RGB representations of the main 125 colors. A color in the RGB color model is described by indicating how much of each of the red, green, and blue is included. The color is expressed as an RGB triplet ( r, g, b ), each component of which can vary from zero to a defined maximum value.

  5. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    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]

  6. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors of a given color model in even proportions. Combining two secondary colors in the same manner produces a tertiary color. Secondary colors are special in traditional color theory, but have no special meaning in color science .

  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 redcyan , greenmagenta , and blueyellow . 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 ...

  8. Color wheel - Wikipedia

    The corresponding secondary colors are green, orange, and violet or purple. The tertiary colors are green-yellow, yellow-orange, orange-red, red-violet/purple, purple/violet-blue and blue-green. Non-digital visual artists typically use red , yellow , and blue primaries ( RYB color model ) arranged at three equally spaced points around their ...

    Lavender is a light shade of purple or violet.It applies particularly to the color of the flower of the same name.The web color called lavender is displayed adjacent—it matches the color of the palest part of the flower; however, the more saturated color shown as floral lavender more closely matches the average color of the lavender flower as shown in the picture and is the tone of lavender ...

  10. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    Most RGB color spaces have real primaries, though some maintain imaginary primaries. For example, all the sRGB primaries fall within the gamut of human perception, and so can be easily represented by practical light sources, including CRT and LED displays, hence why sRGB is still the color space of choice for digital displays.

  11. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    The most common additive color model is the RGB color model, which uses three primary colors: red, green, and blue. This model is the basis of most color displays. Some modern displays are Multi-primary color displays, which have 4-6 primaries (RGB, plus cyan, yellow and/or magenta) in order to increase the size of the color gamut. For all ...
