basisfarbwerte

Basisfarbwerte, also known as primary colors, are fundamental colors used in various fields such as painting, printing, and digital design. In traditional color theory, particularly in the context of subtractive color mixing, three primary colors are essential for creating all other hues through combination. These are traditionally red, blue, and yellow, which are derived from the pigments used in oil painting.

In the printing industry, the subtractive color model relies on cyan, magenta, and yellow inks, along with black, to produce a wide range of colors when combined. This system is known as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) and is widely used in offset printing and color reproduction.

In the additive color model, used in digital displays such as computer screens and televisions, the primary colors are red, green, and blue (RGB). These colors are combined to create the perception of other colors through the additive process, where light is emitted rather than absorbed.

The concept of basisfarbwerte can also extend to other color systems, such as the RYB (Red, Yellow, Blue) model in traditional art, where warm and cool tones are balanced through these primary colors. Understanding these foundational colors helps in achieving consistent and accurate color representation across different mediums and applications.
