| Description | A color model is a structured system for creating a full range of colors from a small set of defined primary colors. There are three fundamental models of color theory. As shown in Figure 1.1, these models are as follows: (1) the Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) color model of lights and display originally explored by Isaac Newton in 1666; (2) the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key Black (CMYK) model for printing in color originally patented by Jacob Christoph Le Blon in 1719; and (3) the Red, Yellow, Blue painters model fully summarized by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1810 [1]. Figure 1.1 shows a visual summary of these three fundamental models of color theory. Figure 1.1 Visual summary of color models. The Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) color model is an additive color model for displays. The Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key Black (CMYK) color model is a subtractive color model for printing. The Red, Yellow, and Blue (RYB) color model is designed for mixing colors with paints. (Images created by Theresa-Marie Rhyne, 2016.)
