Additive color, the Glossary
Additive color or additive mixing is a property of a color model that predicts the appearance of colors made by coincident component lights, i.e. the perceived color can be predicted by summing the numeric representations of the component colors.[1]

Cathode-ray tube
A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen.
See Additive color and Cathode-ray tube
Chromaticity
Chromaticity is an objective specification of the quality of a color regardless of its luminance. Additive color and Chromaticity are color.
See Additive color and Chromaticity
Color
Color (American English) or colour (British and Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Color mixing
There are three types of color mixing models, depending on the relative brightness of the resultant mixture: additive, subtractive, and average. Additive color and color mixing are color.
See Additive color and Color mixing
Color model
In color science, a color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components. Additive color and color model are color.
See Additive color and Color model
Color motion picture film
Color motion picture film refers both to unexposed color photographic film in a format suitable for use in a motion picture camera, and to finished motion picture film, ready for use in a projector, which bears images in color. Additive color and color motion picture film are color.
See Additive color and Color motion picture film
Color space
A color space is a specific organization of colors.
See Additive color and Color space
Color theory
Color theory, or more specifically traditional color theory, is the historical body of knowledge describing the behavior of colors, namely in color mixing, color contrast effects, color harmony, color schemes and color symbolism. Additive color and color theory are color and color space.
See Additive color and Color theory
Convex polygon
In geometry, a convex polygon is a polygon that is the boundary of a convex set.
See Additive color and Convex polygon
Cyan
Cyan is the color between blue and green on the visible spectrum of light.
Dye
A dye is a colored substance that chemically bonds to the substrate to which it is being applied.
Gamut
In color reproduction and colorimetry, a gamut, or color gamut, is a convex set containing the colors that can be accurately represented, i.e. reproduced by an output device (e.g. printer or display) or measured by an input device (e.g. camera or visual system). Additive color and gamut are color and color space.
Grassmann's laws (color science)
Grassmann's laws describe empirical results about how the perception of mixtures of colored lights (i.e., lights that co-stimulate the same area on the retina) composed of different spectral power distributions can be algebraically related to one another in a color matching context. Additive color and Grassmann's laws (color science) are color.

Hermann von Helmholtz
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (31 August 1821 – 8 September 1894) was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions in several scientific fields, particularly hydrodynamic stability.

Ink
Ink is a gel, sol, or solution that contains at least one colorant, such as a dye or pigment, and is used to color a surface to produce an image, text, or design.
James Clerk Maxwell
James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish physicist with broad interests who was responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.

Kinemacolor
Kinemacolor was the first successful colour motion picture process.
See Additive color and Kinemacolor
Light
Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.
Liquid-crystal display
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers.

Luminosity
Luminosity is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic energy (light) per unit time, and is synonymous with the radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.
See Additive color and Luminosity
Magenta
Magenta is a purplish-red color.

Paint
Paint is a material or mixture that, when applied to a solid material and allowed to dry, adds a film-like layer.
Phosphor
A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence; it emits light when exposed to some type of radiant energy.
See Additive color and Phosphor
Photograph
A photograph (also known as a photo, image, or picture) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip.
See Additive color and Photograph
Photographic film
Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals.
See Additive color and Photographic film
Pigment
A pigment is a powder used to add color or change visual appearance.
See Additive color and Pigment
Primary color
A set of primary colors or primary colours (see spelling differences) consists of colorants or colored lights that can be mixed in varying amounts to produce a gamut of colors. Additive color and primary color are color.

Prizma
The Prizma Color system was a color motion picture process, invented in 1913 by William Van Doren Kelley and Charles Raleigh.
RGB color model
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which the red, green and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. Additive color and RGB color model are color space.

Secondary color
A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors of a given color model in even proportions. Additive color and secondary color are color.
See Additive color and Secondary color
Subtractive color
Subtractive color or subtractive color mixing predicts the spectral power distribution of light after it passes through successive layers of partially absorbing media. Additive color and subtractive color are color and color space.

Technicolor
Technicolor is a series of color motion picture processes, the first version dating back to 1916, and followed by improved versions over several decades.

Triangle
A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides, one of the basic shapes in geometry.

Trichromacy
Trichromacy or trichromatism is the possession of three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different types of cone cells in the eye.

Yellow
Yellow is the color between green and orange on the spectrum of light.
Young–Helmholtz theory
The Young–Helmholtz theory (based on the work of Thomas Young and Hermann von Helmholtz in the 19th century), also known as the trichromatic theory, is a theory of trichromatic color vision – the manner in which the visual system gives rise to the phenomenological experience of color.
