  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. 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 ...

  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. List of colors by shade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_by_shade

    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.

  9. Primary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

    Primary color. The emission spectra of the three phosphors that define the additive primary colors of a CRT color video display. Other electronic color display technologies ( LCD, Plasma display, OLED) have analogous sets of primaries with different emission spectra. A set of primary colors or primary colours (see spelling differences) consists ...

  10. Shades of purple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_purple

    This color is pure purple conceived as computer artists conceive it, as the color on the color wheel halfway between color wheel violet and electric magenta. Thus, electric purple is the purest and brightest purple that it is possible to display on a computer screen. Its RGB code is (191, 0, 255).

  11. RYB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

    RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. [1] Under traditional color theory, this set of primary colors was advocated by Moses Harris, Michel Eugène Chevreul, Johannes Itten and Josef Albers, and applied by ...
