6. Appendix Color Guide Color Printing Basics Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model produces white. red green blue Note ❒ RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.
Appendix The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta, and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces cyan, for example). The remaining color is the complement of the color produced (red in this example). Complementary colors are: red and cyan, green and magenta, blue and yellow.
