About RGB secondary colours
- RGB secondary colours are the hues formed by combining two primary colours of light in equal proportions.
- The three RGB secondary colours are cyan, magenta, and yellow:
- When green and blue light sources overlap, they produce cyan.
- When blue and red light sources overlap, they produce magenta.
- When red and green light sources overlap, they produce yellow.
- Mixing adjacent RGB primary and secondary colours of equal intensity results in tertiary colours:
- Mixing red (primary) and yellow (secondary) creates orange.
- Mixing yellow (secondary) and green (primary) creates lime green.
- Mixing green (primary) and cyan (secondary) creates spring green.
- Mixing cyan (secondary) and blue (primary) creates turquoise.
- Mixing blue (primary) and magenta (secondary) creates purple.
- Mixing magenta (secondary) and red (primary) produces fuchsia.
