RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. This color space is widely used in
computer graphics. RGB are the main colors from which many colors can

➢ RGB: The RGB colour model is the most common colour model
used in Digital image processing and openCV. The colour image
consists of 3 channels. One channel each for one colour. Red,
Green and Blue are the main colour components of this model. All
other colours are produced by the proportional ratio of these
three colours only.
Colour combination:
Green(255) + Red(255) = Yellow
Green(255) + Blue(255) = Cyan
Red(255) + Blue(255) = Magenta
Red(255) + Green(255) + Blue(255) = White
CMYK Color Model

used in electrostatic and ink-jet plotters which deposits the pigmentation
on paper. In these model, specified color is subtracted from the white
light rather than adding blackness. It follows the Cartesian coordinate
system and its subset is a unit cube.
