The "primary colors" are red, blue, and green. Combining these colors can create any color or shade of light, and they are represented in video displays by individual color dots within each display pixel.
The "primary colors of light" refer to the "colors of the rainbow", or spectrum, which are the individual wavelength ranges present in visible light.
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet (mnemonic acronym ROY G BIV ) (note indigo is not considered a scientific solitary color anymore, demoted kind of like the dwarf planet Pluto)
In "subtractive coloration", dye colors are used that absorb one or more wavelengths of light, causing the reflected light to appear as a given color. These absorptive dyes are the colors cyan (bluish), magenta (reddish), and yellow. Along with black, they are ink colors in computer printing. (mnemonic CMYK for cyan, yellow, magenta, black)

FYI- The 3 Primary colors of PAINT- what we draw/color with are different-They are red, blue and yellow
What else can I help you with?
What are the colours of the rainbow collectively know as?
white light contains all of the colors of the rainbow, so if all of the rainbow's colors shown collectively at one point, the light would be white light (like the sun's light).
Newton discovered that the colors formed by a prism can be recombined to create light?
He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.
What is the break up of sunlight into colors?
An optical prism can be used to disperse light from the sun's spectrum into all of its constituent colors. It is the same concept that gives rise to the phenomenon of rainbows.
What happens if all of primary colours are combined?
When all primary colors of light (red, green, and blue) are combined, they produce white light. In terms of pigment, when the primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) are mixed, they create a darker color, often resulting in black or a muddy brown, depending on the proportions used. This difference occurs because light is additive, while pigments are subtractive, absorbing certain wavelengths and reflecting others.
Where does the rainbow gets its colors?
An individual raindrop has a different shape and consistency than a glass prism, but it affects light in a similar way. When white sunlight hits a collection of raindrops at a fairly low angle, you can see the component colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet -- a rainbow. For simplicity's sake, we'll only look at red and violet, the colors of light on the ends of the visible light spectrum. The diagram below shows what happens when the sunlight hits one individual raindrop.When the white light passes from air into the drop of water, the component colors of light slow down to different speeds depending on their frequency. The violet light bends at a relatively sharp angle when it enters the raindrop. At the right-hand side of the drop, some of the light passes back out into the air, and the rest is reflected backward. Some of the reflected light passes out of the left side of the drop, bending as it moves into the air again. In this way, each individual raindrop disperses white sunlight into its component colors. So why do we see wide bands of color, as if different rainy areas were dispersing a different single color? Because we only see one color from each raindrop. You can see how this works in the diagram below.When raindrop A disperses light, only the red light exits at the correct angle to travel to the observer's eyes. The other colored beams exit at a lower angle, so the observer doesn't see them. The sunlight will hit all the surrounding raindrops in the same way, so they will all bounce red light onto the observer. Raindrop B is much lower in the sky, so it doesn't bounce red light to the observer. At its height, the violet light exits at the correct angle to travel to the observer's eye. All the drops surrounding raindrop B bounce light in the same way. The raindrops in between A and B all bounce different colors of light to the observer, so the observer sees the full color spectrum. If you were up above the rain, you would see the rainbow as a full circle, because the light would bounce back from all around you. On the ground, we see the arc of the rainbow that is visible above the horizon. Sometimes you see a double rainbow -- a sharp rainbow with a fainter rainbow on top of it. The fainter rainbow is produced in the same way as the sharper rainbow, but instead of the light reflecting once inside the raindrop, it's reflected twice. As a result of this double reflection, the light exits the raindrop at a different angle, so we see it higher up. If you look carefully, you'll see that the colors in the second rainbow are in the reverse order of the primary rainbow. And that's really all there is to rainbows. Light and water happen to combine in just the right way to paint a beautiful natural picture.
List three colors that can combine to produce all the colors of the rainbow?
The primary colors: red, blue and green. The primary colors of light do this, which does NOT include yellow. Red, green and blue are the primary colors of light, and, as you probably know, rainbows are just light. You can also test out the red, green blue primary colors on a computer and see that any color you can think of can be made with them.
What color actually contains all the colors of the rainbow?
well, the rainbow obviously has all the colors, but the answer is brown.
What are the colours of the rainbow collectively know as?
white light contains all of the colors of the rainbow, so if all of the rainbow's colors shown collectively at one point, the light would be white light (like the sun's light).
Why black and white are not primary color?
primary colours are the colours of the rainbow( VIBGYOR).Now White is made by mixing all the colours of the rainbow and black is also made by by mixing some colours present in the rainbow.so the colours present in the rainbow are primary colours and all the other colours in the world are made by mixing them in someway.Secondary colours are not naturally present. .....................................Gho$t
What are all the colors in the rainbow put together?
When all the colors of the rainbow are combined, they form white light. This is because the colors of the rainbow are made up of different wavelengths of visible light that blend together to create white.
What are examples of light wave?
All of the colors in the rainbow.
What color do you get if you mix all the colors of the rainbow together?
Mixing all the colors of the rainbow together creates white light.
What color is obtained when the primary colors of light are mixed and why?
You would get white, because it is like the light beams are going through a crystal. The idea encapsulated here is that white light, when sent through a prism, is broken up into its constituent colors. When you reverse the process and add together the light that is broken up by a prism, the result is white light. ___________________________________________ When the primary colors of light are mixed, the outcome is white light. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I'm guessing this: You know how white light is really composed of all the colors of the rainbow? When you mix all the primary colors of the rainbow together, you get white light.
What colors of light make up light?
There are an infinite number of colors of visible light,and ALL of them are present in a rainbow.
What color does all of the colors of the rainbow make when mixed together?
The light we observe is a mixture of monochromatic lights with different frequencies that can undergo dispersion of VIBGYOR colors when it passes through a denser medium. The VIBGYOR colors of the rainbow are independent mono chromatic light wave particles that constitute light itself. If all the colors of the rainbow is mixed together it will appear white light.
What color is made when all the colors of the rainbow are mixed?
Mixing all of the colors together makes white light ( if you are talking about light). But if you mix all the opaque colours, i think you get black..
What color of light make up a rainbow?
There are an infinite number of colors of visible light,and ALL of them are present in a rainbow.
