The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by red, green, and blue colorimetrically, and so the results of mixing them are not specified as absolute, but relative to the primary colors. When all the primary colors are mixed in equal intensities, the result is white.

Every secondary color is the complement of one primary color: cyan complements red, magenta complements green, and yellow complements blue. A secondary color is formed by the sum of two primary colors of equal intensity: cyan is green+blue, magenta is blue+red, and yellow is red+green. When one of the components has the strongest intensity, the color is a hue near this primary color (red-ish, green-ish, or blue-ish), and when two components have the same strongest intensity, then the color is a hue of a secondary color (a shade of cyan, magenta or yellow). When the intensities are different, the result is a colorized hue, more or less saturated depending on the difference of the strongest and weakest of the intensities of the primary colors employed. When the intensities for all the components are the same, the result is a shade of gray, darker or lighter depending on the intensity.

Zero intensity for each component gives the darkest color (no light, considered the black), and full intensity of each gives a white the quality of this white depends on the nature of the primary light sources, but if they are properly balanced, the result is a neutral white matching the system's white point. Because of properties, these three colors create white, this is in stark contrast to physical colors, such as dyes which create black when mixed. This is essentially opposite to the subtractive color model, particularly the CMY color model, that applies to paints, inks, dyes, and other substances whose color depends on reflecting the light under which we see them. The RGB color model is additive in the sense that the three light beams are added together, and their light spectra add, wavelength for wavelength, to make the final color's spectrum. Each of the three beams is called a component of that color, and each of them can have an arbitrary intensity, from fully off to fully on, in the mixture. To form a color with RGB, three light beams (one red, one green, and one blue) must be superimposed (for example by emission from a black screen or by reflection from a white screen). Color printers, on the other hand are not RGB devices, but subtractive color devices typically using the CMYK color model.Īdditive color mixing: projecting primary color lights on a white surface shows secondary colors where two overlap the combination of all three primaries in equal intensities makes white.

Typical RGB output devices are TV sets of various technologies ( CRT, LCD, plasma, OLED, quantum dots, etc.), computer and mobile phone displays, video projectors, multicolor LED displays and large screens such as the Jumbotron. Typical RGB input devices are color TV and video cameras, image scanners, and digital cameras. Thus an RGB value does not define the same color across devices without some kind of color management.

RGB is a device-dependent color model: different devices detect or reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the color elements (such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual red, green, and blue levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in the same device over time. Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors. The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue. 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.
