About color models
Most of the visible spectrum can be
represented using different color
models based on different sets of
primary colors.
• RGB. Devices that project light, such
as a computer monitor, represent the
range of colors in the visible spectrum
by controlling the intensities of the
primary colors red, green, and blue
(RGB). Adding these colors equally
creates white light, while subtracting
them all leaves black.
