RGB
Digital color triplet
RGB stands for red, green, blue—the three colors of light combined to create images on screens.
Computer monitors, televisions, and digital cameras use RGB color, mixing different intensities of each to produce millions of hues.
The designer adjusted the RGB values to get the exact shade of purple.
Contrast with CMYK, which uses pigments for print.
