  • What are the eight basic colors?

    The eight basic colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown and black. These are typically the basic colors for crayons sold in eight-count packages. Primary colors occur naturally without being mixed first; they are red, yellow and blue. Secondary colors are orange, green and purple.

  • How do different cultures define basic colors?

    In summary, the centres of color categories of most cultures tend to fall in approximately the same positions; these are the positions known in English by the basic color terms black, white, red, yellow, blue, green and so forth. A straightforward explanation for this universal character is that color categories are innate.

  • What features does Color BASIC offer?

    Color BASIC is the implementation of Microsoft BASIC that is included in the ROM of the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computers manufactured between 1980 and 1991. BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a high level language with simple syntax that makes it easy to write simple programs.

Overview

primary colour, any of a set of colours that can be used to mix a wide range of hues. There are three commonly used primary colour models: RGB (red, green, and blue), CMY (cyan, magenta, and yellow), and RYB (red, yellow, and blue). The colour variations between the models are due to the differences between additive and subtractive colour mixing. britannica.com

Additive colour mixing

Additive colour mixing occurs when two or more colours, created through light waves, are combined before they reach the eye. This can be visualized by shining coloured lights onto a white wall. If red and green beams of light are combined in equal amounts, they create the colour yellow (in this case, yellow is a secondary colour—the result of a mixture of two primary colours—but in the subtractive CMY and RYB colour models, yellow serves as a primary colour). If a more saturated red beam is mixed with the same green beam, then the resulting light would be the colour orange. The scientific basis of additive colour mixing comes from English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton’s 1665 and 1666 experiments with light—specifically, the test in which he separated white light with a glass prism. Newton determined in his book Opticks (1704) that white light is a combination of all colours, which he listed as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. In the early 19th century, the mixing of coloured light was explored by English physicist Thomas Young, who theorized that the human eye perceives colour through three photoreceptors that are only sensitive to specific wavelengths on the visible spectrum. About 50 years later, German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz built upon Young’s theory and suggested that each of the three receptors could only receive short, medium, or long wavelengths. The RGB colour model (red, green, and blue) was initially demonstrated in 1861 by Scottish mathematician and physicist James Clerk Maxwell in his projection of what is often called the first colour photograph. Using knowledge built from previous experiments with multicoloured spinning tops, Maxwell had British photographer Thomas Sutton take three black-and-white photographs of the same object—once each with red, green, and blue filters placed over the lens—which were printed on glass and projected together. The RGB colour model also aligns with Helmholtz’s wavelength theory, with red, green, and blue as long, medium, and short wavelengths, respectively. When mixed with different combinations and ratios, these primary colours form a wide range of hues, and, when equal amounts of red, green, and blue light are combined, they form white light. The RGB colour model is used in digital devices, such as televisions and computers. britannica.com

Subtractive colour mixing

When using subtractive colour mixing, the colourants absorb and selectively transmit or reflect light. This can be seen when a coloured filter is placed over a beam of light. If a yellow filter is used, all other colours are absorbed, leaving only yellow light shining through. It is also seen in paints and other pigments. Yellow paint absorbs blue and violet light while reflecting yellow light, as well as green and red light which combine to create more yellow light.

In the case of blue and yellow, the result would be green. As more pigments are combined, more light is absorbed, and the colour mixture progressively becomes darker. The CMY colour model (cyan, magenta, and yellow) aligns with the additive primary colours of red, green, and blue. Cyan absorbs red light, magenta absorbs green light, and yellow absorbs blue light. This colour set, with the addition of black, is often used when printing images. Although red, yellow, and blue (the RYB colour model) are widely taught as main primary colours, the CMY colour model produces a larger range of colour mixtures. The RYB colour model is the oldest and perhaps most accessible of the three colour models, having likely been known since ancient times by artists working in paint and easily taught and visualized with art supplies in a classroom. The RYB and CMY colour models have often been conflated due to the misconception that cyan is equivalent to blue and that magenta is equivalent to red. britannica.com
