	Primary color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space: mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color, mixing a secondary with a primary produces what is sometimes called a tertiary color.
		Primary colors are not a physical but rather a biological concept, based on the physiological response of the human eye to light.
		The color space that is generated is called the RGB ("red, green, blue") color space.

	Red - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was once considered to be a subtractive primary color, and is still sometimes described as such in non-scientific literature; however, the colors cyan, magenta and yellow are now known to be closer to the true subtractive primary colors detected by the eye, and are used in modern color printing.
		Red is the color of the passion (emotion), romance and sex, (because of its association with blood, which is responsible for arousal) thus the red of a Valentine heart and of a "red-light district".
		In the history of Japan red is the color of military flags used by the Heike (or Taira) clan and of the Genji (or Minamoto) clan, two clans that struggled for power at the close of the Heian era, in the late 12th century.

		A primary color is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space.
		Because of the response curves of the three different color receptors in the human eye, these colors are optimal in the sense that the largest range of colors visible by humans can be generated by mixing light of those colors.
		Media that use reflected light and therefore subtractive color mixing (like ink on paper) use the subtractive primaries yellow, cyan, (often called "blue", though this is a different hue from the usual additive blue primary), and magenta (likewise sometimes called "red").

		These primary colors are all bright and since they are equally spaced around the color wheel a more complete set of colors can be mixed using them.
		The secondary colors are named red, green and blue and are the primary colors of the additive or light color theory (called RGB colors).
		Color can not be used as a background because it would effect the colors in the color wheel too much.

	handprint : do "primary" colors exist?
		For painters, a primary color was a pigment color.
		Nearly a century of research was necessary to confirm the existence of these color receptors in the retina by microscopic dissection of retinas in 1828, the isolation of the rod's photopigment (visual purple) in 1877, and detailed color mixing experiments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Color matching data, repeated and varied across hundreds of different color samples and viewing situations for both normal and color deficient viewers, and archived in the color vision literature with light sensitivity and hue cancellation data, represent the ultimate sacred texts of color research.

		Traditionally colors are represented on a wheel of 12 colors: three primary colors, three secondary colors (created by mixing primary colors), and six tertiary colors (created by mixing the primary and secondary colors).
		For all computer-based color, a wheel based on the RGB model is used; this encompasses the CMY model as well since cyan, magenta, and yellow are the secondary colors for red, green, and blue.
		Adding a complementary color to a color on the canvas is the traditional technique for making shadows, as well as for choosing a balance of color overall, so that the eye does not tire from an overuse of red, for example.

	Cyberglitz
		The Color Cube is a conceptual organization of all colors in the visible spectrum into the space of a cube.
		The line-up of colors from one cube point to the next is often referred to as a "color ramp" since the colors along the way phase gradually from one color to another.
		When the mix diverges away from primary colors, the result is lighter, darker, or grayer, and the color appears to be somewhere in between the primary colors.

		A colorant that absorbs one wavelength band has the combined color of the other two; it is the complement of the color it subtracts from white light.
		The complementary colors are the control colors of subtractive color synthesis; thus, the dyes in color filters and emulsions, and the inks (process colors) used in photomechanical reproduction are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
		The complementary colors permit subtractive control of each of the three primaries individually; like additive synthesis, this corresponds with the three-color theory of vision.
