An additive colour model explains how different coloured lights (such as LEDs or beams of light) are mixed to produce other colours.
- Additive colour refers to the methods used and effects produced by combining or mixing different wavelengths of light.
- The RGB colour model and HSB colour model are examples of additive colour models.
- Additive colour models such as the RGB colour model and HSB colour model can produce vast ranges of colours by combining red, green, and blue lights in varying proportions.
- An additive approach to colour is used to achieve precise control over the appearance of colours on digital screens of TVs, computers, and phones.
