The Triangle of Digital Color

Red, Green, and Blue (RGB Model)

The triangle of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) represents the three primary colors of light, forming the foundation of digital color systems and human color perception. These colors combine in various ways to create the full spectrum of visible light.

1. Red: Red is one of the primary colors in the RGB model and has the longest wavelength visible to the human eye. It evokes warmth and energy and is essential for creating orange, purple, and other shades when mixed with green or blue light.

2. Green: Green occupies the middle of the spectrum and is critical for balance in color creation. It represents nature and harmony and combines with red and blue to produce colors like yellow and cyan.

3. Blue: Blue has the shortest wavelength of the RGB colors, symbolizing calm and depth. When mixed with red or green, it forms colors such as magenta and cyan.
