Studying the science of Color thoroughly is beyond the scope of this seminar. And if Color Physics does catch your interest, links are provided at the end of this page. It's one thing to get some paint and start mixing to create colors, but with computers all things have to be represented by numbers. So any possible color must be defined numerically. There is a demand for such extremes believe it or not.
Monitors produces color by shooting R ed, G reen and B lue guns onto a black screen.
Printers uses C yan, M agenta and Y ellow inks on white paper to produce color. The difference between the two Color Models is based on how color is produced. As more light is added, regardless of color, the stage will become washed out in white light. And it is the varying amounts of red, green and blue projected onto the phosphors of a monitor or television screen that bring the world to our homes. The sun shines white light on something, and a part of the spectrum is absorbed by it.
