The RGB color model uses additive color mixing of red, green, and blue light to produce various colors. It is the model used for color displays like computer and TV screens. The RGB color space is represented as a cube with red, green, and blue forming the axes and varying levels of each component from 0 to 1 producing different colors that combine to make white at maximum values. This model directly reflects how true color displays produce colors and is used for computer graphics and digital images but not print production which uses the CMYK subtractive color model.
