Digital photographs are displayed on the screen using which three colors?

• A. Red, Blue, and Green
• B. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
• C. Red, Green, and Yellow
• D. Black, White, and Gray

Answer: (A)

Digital displays create color by emitting light in three channels: red, green, and blue. This additive color system blends these light colors at various intensities to produce the wide range of colors you see on screen. When all three channels are at full intensity, you get white; with none, you get black. So, the three colors used to display digital photographs are red, green, and blue.

The other color groups belong to different contexts. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are subtractive primaries used in printing. Black, white, and gray describe grayscale tones, not color channels. Red, green, and yellow aren’t a standard trio for display color.
