When red and blue light are combined, the result is magenta. When green and blue light are combined, they make cyan. Red and green light make yellow. And when all three primary colors of light are combined, we see white light.

Prisms can separate white light into a group of colors called the spectrum. The spectrum is made of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Rainbows are very special displays of all the seven colors of light in the spectrum.

White light is made up of the following colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each coloured light has its own wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength and violet light has the shortest wavelength.

In additive color mixing, red, green and blue light combine to make white light. Depending on the spectral output of the LEDs, not all three colors are always necessary.

So, if we look closer, an RGB LED actually consists of 3 small LEDs: a red, green and blue one. By mixing these three colours in various ways all colours can be produced, including white. While an RGB LED Strip can produce any colour, the warm white light that such a strip can create is only an approximation.

Although RGB can produce a colour close to white, a dedicated white LED provides a much purer white tone and allows you the option of an extra warm or cool white chip. The extra white chip also provides extra scope for colour mixing with the RGB chips to create a huge range of unique shades.

White LED lights can be made to be look bluish, or yellowish, or anywhere in between. The blue-ness or yellow-ness of the light is called the “colour temperature”. So if you find bulbs that give a blue-ish light, it’s called “cool white”, because the light looks icy cold.

What’s the Difference Between RGB and RGBIC? RGBIC is where multiple colors can be displayed on one strip light simultaneously. RGB on the other hand, can only display one color at a time. If you want an LED strip light with color, both are perfectly suitable.

The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.

Three types of RGB lighting

• Classic RGB: a LED strip with triple diodes (red, green and blue on one diode).
• RGB+W: A LED strip with triple diodes (red, green and blue on one diode) and a separate white diode for pure white light.
• RGBW:
• Healthy & relaxing.
• Endless color options.
• Less heat.

there are two kinds of RGB LEDs: common cathode and common anode RGB LEDs; you generate different colors by adjusting the brightness of each of the three LEDs of the RGB LED; to adjust the brightness of each LED, you use a PWM signal.

The basic colours are RGB not RYB. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are “subtractive colors”. If we print cyan, magenta and yellow inks on white paper, they absorb the light shining on the page. Since our eyes receive no reflected light from the paper, we perceive black… in a perfect world!

RGB is what monitors use for colors because monitors give off or “emit” light. Because a monitor gives off light. CMYK is what you would see on a printed page because pigment or color “absorbs” light. CMYK is a subtractive color palette.

A mix of red, green and blue LEDs in one module according to the RGB colour model, white light is produced by the proper mixture of red, green and blue light. The RGB white method produces white light by combining the output from red, green and blue LEDs.

By mixing light of these 3 base colors, you could create any color perception. But such a color set does not exist. RGB does a pretty good job of covering a large part of the color gamut, but not all (RGB fails at saturated cyan and yellow, for example).

RGB is the process by which colors are rendered onscreen by using combinations of red, green and blue. RGB is the opposite of CMYK because it is an “additive” process. When you mix fully saturated versions of all three colors (red, green and blue) together, you get pure white.

The hexadecimal color #000000 has RGB values of R: 0, G: 0, B: 0 and CMYK values of C: 0, M: 0, Y: 0, K:1….Color conversion.

In RGB, a color is defined as a mixture of pure red, green, and blue lights of various strengths. 255, with 0 meaning zero light and 255 meaning maximum light. So for example (red=255, green=100, blue=0) is a color where red is maximum, green is medium, and blue is not present at all, resulting in a shade of orange.
