    Default What are the three colours of which all other colours are made of to you?

    People who play around with paint (and probably glue and other fumes, too) seem to think it's red, blue and yellow (if you can believe that), and that all colours put together makes black. All the rest, who know better, say that it's red, blue and green, and that when they're mushed together you get WHITE. So, are you right, or wrong?

    Blue, red and yellow for me. Everyone knows that when you mix blue and yellow you get green.

    Blue, red, and yellow are the primary colors. Purple, green, orange are secondary colors.

    Black is supposedly the absense of colors, and white is the presence of all colors.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Cyan, Magenta and Yellow if it's inks. Red/Yellow/Blue is nonsense really, and Red = Yellow + Magenta Printers will use black as well though, because the C/M/Y when mixed together give a muddy colour instead of black like it would with pure pigments. That's for subtractive colour mixing anyway.

    I prefer Red/Green/Blue though, since that's what I'm more used to using and mixing when picking colours on the computer screen, as computer screens use the primary colours of light

    In both those cases though, you can't make every colour in existance, which is why there's also other methods for describing colour space, like L*a*b*.

    anyone who thinks if you take all colors and put them together you make white, is very stupid they make black

    And they should be put in a old folks home and far away from paint brushes

    Red, blue, yellow for paints. Televisions use red, green, and blue for color, and there was a reason for it but I forgot it.
