Question

The three primary colours of additive theory, a principle which is used by television monitors for display, is known as:

• A. RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
• B. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
• C. RYB (Red, Yellow and Blue)
• D. OGV (Orange, Green and Violet)

Hint:

Remember that anything with a screen that lights up (TV, phone, monitor) uses the \textbf{additive} light primaries: \textbf{R}ed, \textbf{G}reen, and \textbf{B}lue.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Additive color theory explains how colors are made by combining light wavelengths. This is how electronic displays like TVs and phones work.
Step 2: The primary colors in the additive model are Red, Green, and Blue (RGB). Combining them at full intensity creates white light.
Step 3: Contrast with other color models:

CMYK is for printing with ink (subtractive model).
RYB is for mixing pigments (traditional model).
OGV (Orange, Green, Violet) are secondary colors in the RYB model.
Since the question concerns television monitors, the correct model is RGB.
