RGB color wheel

The RGB color wheel represents how red, green, and blue light combine to create a wide range of colors. Think of it as a circular diagram where each primary color is positioned opposite its complementary color. By mixing these primary colors at different intensities, you can produce secondary colors like cyan, magenta, and yellow, along with all other hues. This system is fundamental in digital displays, where tiny pixels emit varying amounts of red, green, and blue light to generate the full spectrum of colors we see on screens.
