Color Printing Basics

Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models
All lights are a mixture of red, green, and blue, which are normally called the RGB color model. When
red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model produces white.
Note
RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer screen are produced by
varying the intensities of RGB.
