Question

The three primary colours of additive theory, a principle which is used by television monitors for display, is known as:

• A. RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
• B. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
• C. RYB (Red, Yellow and Blue)
• D. OGV (Orange, Green and Violet)

Hint:

Remember that anything with a screen that lights up (TV, phone, monitor) uses the \textbf{additive} light primaries: \textbf{R}ed, \textbf{G}reen, and \textbf{B}lue.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand Additive Color Theory. This theory applies to emitted light, where colors are created by adding different wavelengths of light together. This is the principle used by electronic displays like TVs, computer monitors, and phone screens.
Step 2: Identify the primary colors of the additive model. The primary colors of light are Red, Green, and Blue (RGB). When all three are combined at full intensity, they produce white light.
Step 3: Differentiate from other color models.

CMYK is the subtractive color model, used for printing with ink.
RYB is the traditional color model used by artists for mixing pigments.
OGV (Orange, Green, Violet) are the secondary colors in the RYB model.
Since the question specifically mentions television monitors, the correct model is RGB.
