## Prompt

Name three primary colors.

## Response

The three traditional primary colors used in classic art and basic color theory are red, yellow, and blue. However, the exact set of primary colors varies based on whether light or physical pigment is being combined. In modern optical and printing technologies, Red-Green-Blue (RGB) and Cyan-Magenta-Yellow (CMY) serve as the standard primary color sets.

## Primary Color Systems

| Color Model | Primary Colors | Primary Application |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Traditional (RYB)** | Red, Yellow, Blue | Fine arts, traditional painting, visual design |
| **Additive (RGB)** | Red, Green, Blue | Digital screens, televisions, monitors, photography |
| **Subtractive (CMY)** | Cyan, Magenta, Yellow | Color printing, ink, industrial dye processes |

**Red, Yellow, Blue (RYB)**
The historical RYB model is widely taught in art education and used by painters. Combining these primary pigments produces secondary colors like orange, green, and purple.

**Red, Green, Blue (RGB)**
The additive RGB model uses light sources to create colors on digital displays. Combining all three primary colors of light at full intensity yields white light.

**Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (CMY)**
The modern subtractive CMY model relies on pigments that absorb specific wavelengths of light. Combined with black ink (CMYK), it forms the foundation for commercial printing.
