I know from the art class I took in elementary school that there are primary colors and secondary colors. The primary ones being Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple.
So my question is why do we use red, green, and blue? Wouldn’t it make more sense to do every other color on the spectrum so that all colors in between could be mixed from them? Like Red, Yellow, and Blue?
In: Technology
Because the cone cells in your eye can detect red, green, and blue light, and from the information taken from these color detecting cell’s signals your brain interprets all the other colors you can see.
