Using the maximum levels of each (255,255,255) will give you white. If you add no color in RGB (0,0,0) you get black. Zero is the lowest amount of a color used, and 255 is the highest. This tells a screen how much output of each color to use. Each color of the RGB model is represented by numbers between 0 and 225 for each red, green, and blue value. Your computer monitor, iPhone, television, and other device screens all output using those same colors, in varying amounts. Through these numbers you’re telling your monitor how much of that particular light color you want to shine. RGB numbers are based upon monitor settings which emit red, green, and blue light. Instead of mixing paint however, we are mixing light. Remember when you were a child and had only 3 cups of acrylic paint, one of red, one of blue, and one of green? You mixed differing amounts of each paint together to create all the colors you wanted for your masterpiece. RGB (red, green, blue) is a method of creating coloration by mixing different intensities of red, green, and blue to get your desired color.
#PMS CMYK HOW TO#
Here is some basic information for each model to guide you into which system to employ and how to communicate based on the environment or material in which you are working: RGB – for screens using light Which model you use depends on where you plan to view or apply your color. HEX, CMYK, RGB, and PMS are a few of the most common color models or matching systems that help connect what our eyes see with the colors we want to present in our materials.īasically, they are sets of numbers used to express the combination of color or light. Making the Connection from Art to the Eye Just remember, all color models can only display a limited gamut (range) of colors and light compared to the natural visible spectrum in our world. We do however have several tools of color that work within the environments of print and screens to bring some amazing photos and images to life in 2-D platforms. The truth is we cannot perfectly replicate the natural spectrum of light and color, nor what the eye and brain does in microseconds.
How do we take all the colors that we see and put it on a screen or on paper or clothing? Creating Color for Digital and Print Material Understandably then, vision is the one sense out of all the five senses which people treasure the most. Its speed in taking in information and processing it is rapid and outstanding. The eye is a fascinating organ of the human body with an anatomy that works with the nervous system and brain. It can distinguish ranges, tints, densities, and tones so quickly we do not give it a thought. The eye has the ability to take in an incredibly large spectrum in a blink. Oh I wished if only I could blink my eyes like the shutters of a camera and capture all that I saw! Perceiving and Creating Colorįrom leaves and flowers to websites and logos, color imparts its beauty and emotion.
As I turned the bend, a long row of cherry and dogwood trees welcomed me with a vast array of pinks and corals and cream blossoms above me. A large wisteria tree heavy with lavender, mauve, and violet flowers was waving its treasures in the breeze.
The early spring leaves were emerging, elegantly presenting a vast range of yellows and greens. Driving through Roxy Hill and Windy River I (R Creative Advisory Partner, Anne-Marie) winded my way down south.
