In additive color synthesis for digital displays, which set are the primary colors?

• A. CMYK Color
• B. RGB Color
• C. HSL
• D. XYZ

Answer: (B)

Additive color synthesis creates colors by adding light. On digital displays, colors come from red, green, and blue light—the RGB model. By adjusting the brightness of each of these three primaries, you can produce a wide range of colors; when all three are at full intensity, the result is white. CMYK is used for printing and is subtractive, not additive. HSL is a way to describe colors (hue, saturation, lightness) rather than a primary color set. XYZ is a color space used for color science, not the primary colors used by displays.
