RGB

A signal that can be separated into red, green, and blue components, combinations of which then can be used to create color screens or color print. Most computers have an RGB output that differs from the composite video or S-video outputs of television sets. This is why RGB computer signals must be scan converted into composite video for television viewing.

RGB is short for colors red,green,and blue often used in color coding on web pages,particularly for GIF files.64K color values can be represented by a byte(8 bits of data ) each for red,green,and blue.These are commonly expressed in hexadecimal values from 00 to FF for each color.The color value for white in this system is FFFFFF,where each color is at maximum value.Red is FF====.Yellow is FFFF==.There is a smaller set of non_dithering colors where the permissible values for each color are hexadecimal 00,33,66,99,CC or FF or decimal 0,51,102,153,204 , and the results will look the same with different browsers,computers,and color cards.

Stands for "Red-Green-Blue." The term refers to the three hues of light (red, green, and blue, for those of you that are a little slow) that can mix together to form any color. When the highest intensity of each color is mixed together, white light is created. TVs and computer monitors use the RGB strategy to form all the colors and images you see on the screen. In print, however, the CYMK colors (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and White) are used to create color images.
