Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about color printing

What is RGB color?
Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors observed
in nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions and computer monitors
create colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green,
or blue needed to produce a certain color.
