Greetings! We are thrilled to present our updated online resources on the RGB/CMY Digital Color Wheel. Our website is dedicated to educators, artists, designers, and color enthusiasts who seek to deepen their knowledge about color theory. We offer valuable insights on the RGB|CMY Digital Color Wheel and its relationship with human vision, as well as the commonly used RGB and HSB color models. These concepts are fundamental in various fields such as media arts, graphic design, UX/UI design, visual prototyping for product and interior design, motion graphics applications, and many others. Feel free to explore our website and discover the resources we are constantly updating about the RGB/CMY Digital Color Wheel and color design education.
The infographic below displays the "RGB/CMY Digital color wheel" and the "RGB/CMY color spectrum” (terms coined by Petronio Bendito for this project in 2023 to replace the restrictive ROYGBIV way of thinking about color). The infographic also features Adobe's RGB digital color panel, displaying the full RGB/CMY spectrum of colors using additive color mixing processes based on the primaries Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) light sources. They produce the secondary Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. The Major chromatic colors Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), and Yellow (Y) will gravitate toward the Neutrals, including black (K) and white (W). This "full spectrum of colors" is essential to art, design, computer science, computer graphics, and media arts education and practice, and is found in digital technology, utilizing RGB and HSB color selection models, such as this Adobe's RGB color Mixer.
Mastering the RGB/CMY digital color wheel enhances understanding of RGB colors for color design and applications within the RGB environment. Proficiency in the RGB/CMY digital color system is crucial for digital color literacy in the evolving landscape of the creative economy. This significance is particularly pronounced in fields like media arts, visual communication, the metaverse, and mixed reality technologies, where a nuanced understanding of digital color systems plays an important role in color design and creative expressions.
The RGB/CMY Digital Color Atlas is an ongoing Project by Petronio Bendito.
RGB|CMY Digital Color Education Methodology
One of the aims of the project is to create a visual atlas that presents the fundamental concepts of digital color design education in a comprehensive manner, with a focus on visual learners. We are building resources about digital color design and methods for educators and colorists. This is an ongoing project and here are the topics we look forward to covering:
In summary, what's the RGB/CMY Digital Color Atlas about? Let's break down the terminology:
RGB / Red, Green, and Blue
CMY / Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow
Digital / using or characterized by computer technology
Color / a visual phenomenon based on hue, value, and chroma, as defined by Albert Munsell. It is mathematically presented on computer applications as RGB color mixing formulas and visual methods of representation such as planes of the RGB color cube and HSB color planes and sliders.
Atlas / a comprehensive collection of visual aids and text used to clarify information.
A crucial aspect of this project involves utilizing the RGB/CMY Digital Color Wheel as a teaching tool to convey basic color concepts that are applicable to art and design in the RGB environment. The project also covers important techniques for coordinating and communicating colors effectively.
