Question

1. rgb is a ______________ color, while cmyk is a ______________ colo

Explanation:

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model, used in light - emitting devices like computer screens. When these three primary colors of light are combined in different intensities, they can create a wide range of colors, and adding more light (higher intensity of the primaries) leads to a brighter color, eventually white when all are at maximum intensity. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (Black)) is a subtractive color model, used in printing. In subtractive mixing, colors are created by subtracting (absorbing) certain wavelengths of light and reflecting others. When cyan, magenta, and yellow inks are mixed, they absorb different parts of the visible light spectrum, and black (key) ink is added to improve contrast and print quality. So RGB is an additive color, and CMYK is a subtractive color.

Answer:

RGB is a \underline{additive} color, while CMYK is a \underline{subtractive} color.
