RGBväriympyrä

RGBväriympyrä refers to a color model that uses combinations of red, green, and blue light to reproduce a broad spectrum of colors. This additive color model is commonly used in digital displays such as televisions, computer monitors, and smartphone screens. When red, green, and blue light are combined, they create different colors. For example, mixing red and green light produces yellow, while mixing red and blue light results in magenta. Combining all three primary colors of light at their maximum intensity results in white light. Conversely, the absence of all three colors produces black. The "väriympyrä" part of the term translates to "color circle" or "color wheel," suggesting a circular representation of these colors and their relationships. In an RGB color circle, the primary colors red, green, and blue are typically positioned at equal distances. Secondary colors, formed by mixing two primary colors, are located between them. Tertiary colors can be visualized as combinations of adjacent primary and secondary colors. Understanding the RGB color circle is fundamental for digital color manipulation, graphics design, and understanding how displays render images. It's important to distinguish the RGB additive model from subtractive color models like CMYK, which are used in printing.
