Mixing colors can be so much fun, and you can do this in a program such as PowerPoint too. Along with the Primary and SecondaryĬolors, you now see that 12 colors can be found within the color wheel shown in Figure 3, below.įigure 3: Color wheel with three Primary, three Secondary, and six Tertiary Colors These six colors are what we call Tertiary Colors. Now let us get a little more creative and further mix the 3 Primary colors in mathematical proportions to make 6 more colors: Color These three colors, Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta are what we call Secondary Colors, that you can see in addition to the PrimaryĬolors within the color wheel shown in Figure 2, below.įigure 2: Color wheel with three Primary and three Secondary Colors And you end with Magenta with equal parts of Red and Blue – these are all shown in the table below. Similarly equal parts of Green and Blue create Cyan. Mixing 255 parts of both Red and Green with 0 parts of Blue makes Yellow. We won't get into all 16 million colors for now, but let us get a little more creative and mix these 3 Primary Colors to make 3 Multiply 255 variations of Red with a similar number of variations of Green and Blue, and you end up with 16 million colors! 16 million equalsĢ55 x 255 x 255. These three colors are what we call Primary Colors, that you can see within the color wheel shown in Figure 1, below.įigure 1: Color wheel with three Primary Colors Color name swatch and red, green, and blue color codes for hexadecimal decimal. There is a way you express these values, as explained in this table below. Memorize 'RGB' and you will remember the ordering. Colors are almost always written with the Red value first, the Green value second, and the Blue value third. The max value of each of the colors is 255. Thus if you have 255 parts of Red combined with 0 parts of both Green and Blue, you'll end up with Red. Black is 0,0,0, and White is 255, 255, 255 Gray is any x,x,x where all the numbers are the same. These are represented as values that range from 0 to Let us call these proportions "parts",Īnd then mix colors! So how many parts do we need? The RGB color model uses 256 parts. To create new colors from multiple colors, what you need to do is mix these colors in some proportions. With these 3 primary colors, you can create around 16 million distinct colors! How does that happen? Let's explore further. RGB is essentially an abbreviation for Red Green Blue. Red, Blue, and Green, and that explains why this model is called the RGB color model. The three primary colors of this electronic color model are Since: JDK1.Color in electronic devices is made up from light, as already discussed in ourĬolor Models article. Parameters: hue - the hue component of the color saturation - the saturation of the color brightness - the brightness of the color Returns: the RGB value of the color with the indicated hue, This integer can be supplied as an argument to theĬolor constructor that takes a single integer argument. Value of a color in bits 0-23 of an integer value that is the same The integer that is returned by HSBtoRGB encodes the Thisįractional number is then multiplied by 360 to produce the hue Subtracted from it to create a fraction between 0 and 1. The hue componentĬan be any floating-point number. Should be floating-point values between zero and one
Model, to an equivalent set of values for the default RGB model.
