The RGB model is an additive color model that represents and displays colors based on combinations of the three primary colors: red, green, and blue.
In the RGB model, each color has a value between 0 and 255 (or 0.0 and 1.0 in normalized form). By adjusting the intensities of these three colors, nearly all visible colors can be mixed.
The RGB model is widely used in electronic display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and digital cameras.
The CMY model is a subtractive color model that prints or displays colors based on combinations of the three primary colors: cyan, magenta, and yellow. In the CMY model, colors are obtained by subtracting these primary colors from white.
RGB and CMY color spaces can be converted to each other using certain conversion formulas. The conversion formula is as follows:
R=1−C,
G=1−M,
B=1−Y.
Given the CMY coordinates (0.2, 1, 0.5), the corresponding RGB coordinates can be found using the above formula.
Calculating R:
R=1−C=1−0.2=0.8,
Calculating G:
G=1−M=1−1=0,
Calculating B:
B=1−Y=1−0.5=0.5,
Therefore, in RGB space, the CMY coordinates (0.2, 1, 0.5) correspond to the color coordinates (0.8, 0, 0.5).
