Schema for Color Printing

There are two methods of creating a range of colors. Those are called “additive color system” and
“subtractive color system”.
■
Additive color system (This system is used by computer
monitors.)
This system creates a range of colors by combining varying amounts of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB)
light, which is generally used in the color monitor. Adding the maximum amount of red, green, and blue
light available creates white, on the contrary, black occurs where all these three colors are absent.
Other colors can be created by combining varying amounts of these additive
primaries (RGB).
