Additive Color Model

The additive color model describes how colors are created by mixing different light colors. It uses three primary colors: red, green, and blue. When these colors of light overlap, they combine to produce a broader range of colors, including white when all three blend at full intensity. This model is used in digital screens like TVs and computers, where colored pixels emit light to display images. Essentially, by adding varying amounts of red, green, and blue light, many colors can be produced, allowing screens to visually represent the colors we see on electronic devices.
