The additive colors are used when color is created by adding light. For instance, a CRT monitor creates color by exciting phosphors that emit light. Three different phosphors are used, each of which emits a different color of light.

 


RGB uses additive colors. When all three are mixed in equal amounts they form white. When red and green overlap they form yellow, and so on.

When you make corrections on an additive printer, the printer is actually controlling the time that the additive colors are allowed to expose the paper through either pulsed-xenon tubes or CC filters; for example, ...

Monitors release light to produce additive colors, whereas printers use pigments or dyes to absorb light and create subtractive colors.

-Primary colors - three primary additive colors of the spectrum in terms of transmitted light. These colors are blue, green and red.
-Principal axis - imaginary line which passes through the center of curvature of all the lens elements.

RGB COLOR: Stands for the additive colors of RED, GREEN and BLUE. These are the component colors that are used in capturing images or displaying colors on all digital cameras, scanners and computer screens.

Light's primary colors are known as additive colors. They are called additive because mixing the three together (adding) in equal portions creates white light.

The additive reproduction process mixes various amounts of red, green and blue to produce other colors. Combining one of these additive colors primary colors with another produces the additive secondary colors cyan, magenta and yellow.

Single-shot capture systems use either one CCD with a Bayer filter mosaic, or three separate image sensors (one each for the primary additive colors red, green, and blue) which are exposed to the same image via a beam splitter.

Named the additive colors of the human visual spectrum, since red + green + blue = white. Richardson-Lucy Method (RL) Image reconstruction algorithm.
