Light

Color

What are the primary colors from a light source?

When mixing light (or “additive color mixing”) the three primary colors are blue, green, and red. Computer monitors and both cathode ray tube (CRT) and flat-panel television sets use these colors. The combination of these primary colors results in other colors, and when all three colors are combined with equal intensity, white is formed.
