The RGB Color System

The RGB Color System works on the basic principle that each color is a composition of the colors red, green and blue. Each color in the RGB spectrum is created first by having a dark canvas (or design area) and then adding each of the red, green and blue elements. For this reason it is also known as the Additive Color System.
