The abbreviation RGB stands for "Red Green Blue," and as you might have guessed, it has to do with colors and how they are made up. You may wonder why red, green, and blue are used. The answer is that any other hue that the human eye can see from the visible spectrum can be created by mixing varied proportions of the main colors' red, green, and blue. An additive color model is RGB. In other words, you combine the main red, green, and blue hues to create new colors. White results from combining all three hues at their full (100%) intensity. However, if you combine them all at their lowest intensity (0%), you get black.
The most popular color model in software is RGB. Each of the three numbers in the RGB color model, which each represent the intensity of red, green, and blue colors, can be used to specify a specific color. The three numbers' ranges can change depending on which reference you use, though. Standard RGB notations allow for the use of triplets of values ranging from 0 to 255, arithmetic values ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, and percentage values ranging from 0% to 100%.
It's all quite interesting I never really looked into this before 1.1.12. I never knew the color system would be somewhat interesting.
Good old RBG :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you learned about "Red Green Blue" from 1.1.12 Digital Image Facts ^_^
We learn everyday! I like RGB especially in my pool lighting. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy how three simple colors blended or not in various intensities can give us so many varieties of colors to liven up our world.
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that they would use main colors such as red, green, and blue. Triplet values that interesting, thank you for your feedback on RGB (Red, Green, and Blue)
ReplyDeleteHi, Jan! This was a good explanation of the RGB color model. It's fascinating to think that every color on a digital display can be represented using just these three primary colors.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan, I have heard of the term RGB but never throughly knew their functionality in creating the colors we see on our computing devices. It is very interesting how we are able to display all of the colors in the visible spectrums on our devices using the technique of color mixing. The mixture of red, blue, and green color is portrayed on one pixel but it is also significant by how much memory a computer uses for each pixel, some computers use eight bit color images which means they use one byte for each pixel limiting its capabilities to display among the 256 colors but a 24 bit color image uses three bytes for each pixel allowing it compose an image with millions of different colors immensely increasing the color quality. Apart from the functionality of RGB I hope this helps you gain a more in-depth understanding of how computers are able to use certain amounts of colors.
ReplyDeleteRGB is used quite a lot today, even on peripherals that are not the monitor. When I was building my personal computer, I was having a hard time finding a PC case and RAM that were not RGB as it is such a standard today.
ReplyDeleteyou must understand the RGB very well because you describe it very clear, which makes understand it by reading once.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I often use Photoshop and Illustrator and understanding how color is displayed across a multitude of devices is critical.
ReplyDeleteYeah some designers and photo editor seems to be such an expert about these field. Some can look at a color and tell the code to the color. That's crazy and brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how exactly the RGB system was actually discovered. I wouldn't be surprised if some scientists have ran studies on the make up of our eye balls.
