RGB colour notation

RGB colour notation refers to the method used by the RGB colour model to identify and store colour values in a format recognizable to both computers and humans.

  • RGB stands for red, green, and blue and is a commonly used colour model in digital imaging and computer graphics.
  • The RGB colour model is an additive colour model, meaning that colours are created by adding different amounts of red, green, and blue light together.
  • RGB colour notation is widely used in web design, graphic design, and other digital media.
  • RGB colour values are expressed as either:
    • Decimal triplets. For example, the colour yellow is represented as 255, 255, 0.
    • Hexadecimal triplets. For example, the colour green is represented as #00FF00.
