( Nasevilla con el saludo )What are the primary colors?

Primary colors are those that cannot be obtained by mixing any color, that is, they are absolute
colors with fully differentiated characteristics from each other.

Secondary colors arise from the mixture of two primary colors in equal proportions.

There are three primary color classification models: RGB, CMYK, and traditional or RYB.

(Llano )RGB system

In the RGB system, also called "additive color synthesis", the primary colors are blue, green
and red. This model is based on the theory of color as light radiation. Thus, the color results
from the "sum" or "addition" of lights with different wavelengths such as:

Blue and green = cyan

Blue and red = magenta

Green and red = yellow

According to the RGB or light-color model, mixing the three primary colors red, green, and blue
produces white.

( Cepeda )CMY or CMYK system

In the CMY or CMYK system, the primary or basic colors are cyan, magenta and yellow In some
cases black is incorporated as support This means that, contrary to the additive color system,
this model “eliminates” or “subtracts” wavelengths from the reflected light. CMYK is used in
printing and specific materials. For this reason, its use is frequent in the plastic arts.

Mixing basic colors in the CMYK system results in the following secondary colors:

Yellow and magenta = red

Magenta and cyan = blue

Cyan and yellow = green

According to the CKYK or color-pigment model, mixing the three primary colors cyan, yellow,
and magenta produces the color black.

(Jumbo)traditional model

The traditional model, also known as RYB, refers to the classic classification of the primary
colors in red, yellow and blue. It can be considered an antecedent of the CMYK model.

Yellow and blue = green

yellow and roll = orange

blue and red = purple
