The RGB Color Model (Red, Green, and Blue)

RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) is Red, Green, and Blue. Most digital images, such as those on your computer screen or in your digital camera, are created using these fundamental hues.
The RGB colour model is an additive colour model with a light component. This refers to the process of combining colours to obtain lighter shades.
You can make an absolute white by combining 100 percent red, green, and blue. Combining different combinations, on the other hand, will produce distinct colours. When red and green are combined, for example, you get yellow. Magenta is created by mixing red and blue, whereas cyan is made by mixing green and blue.

RGB and CMYK Color Space Explained

RGB stands for red, green, and blue, and it is a colorspace that describes light emission. RGB is an additive colour spectrum, and white is formed when all primary colours are mixed. This is similar to a light spectrum, in which white light is made by combining all the hues of natural light (for example, all the colours of a rainbow). Modern computer monitors create colours by emitting light and employing the RGB colorspace. This is why, when constructing files, most computer programs use the RGB colorspace as the default.

On the other hand, Ink and toner do not accurately replicate light emission when printing. Because the absorption of light is the only way to see colours from non-light sources, a new colorspace is required to represent hat spectrum of colour. As a result, the CMYK colorspace (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) was born. This colorspace represents the absorption of light, and when all the primary colors are combined, it forms black.

What is CMYK and Pantone

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). The Pantone Matching System is the company's most well-known product (PMS).
PMS is a specialised colour space utilised by designers in various sectors to produce high-quality offset printing. PMS is primarily utilised in the printing industry, although it also produces coloured paint, textiles, and polymers. The CMYK colour model is used in the printing business.
 

The RGB colour code is made up of the colours RED, BLUE, and GREEN. Different colours are created by combining these four base colours, just like RGB. Each colour is represented by a percentage ranging from 0% (no colour) to 100% (every colour) (all of the colors). The surface/background is the initial distinction. It's white with CMYK (e.g. the paper). This is why the "Key" colour is required to create a stunning, deep black.
 

Choose the Right Colors for Your Palette

Creating color palettes can be hard. Designers spend a lot of time trying to create cohesion between the various colors on the rainbow.

Color picker match colors related to your existing composition; leads to color scheme ideas; and generate color shades, tones and tints values.

One big piece to the puzzle is color theory. Beyond the understanding of color theory you also need to understand how to choose the right colors for your palette.

Understanding color is the first step to applying it successfully in your design. Color theory is a complex subject that analyzes how different hues/shades interact with one another. However a few basic tips can lead to finding that perfect palette.

• Analogous palettes use colors that are close to each other on the color wheel.
• Complementary palettes are created with colors that sit opposite each other on the wheel in order to offer a sense of balance.
• The triadic method consists of three main colors equally spaced on the wheel, which makes for a diverse palette.
