Description
Yellow is a color produced by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of about 560–590nm. Yellow is considered a secondary color in the RGB additive color system and a primary color in the traditional RYB color wheel. It is represented by the following color coordinates:
- Hex triplet: # FFFF00
- RGB: (255, 255, 0); CMYK (0, 0, 0, 100)
- HSV: (%)
Examples of inorganic yellow pigments:
- earth colors (Raw umber, Goethite, Limonite, Ocher).
- oxides (Litharge).
- sulfides (Orpiment, Cadmium sulfide).
- chromates (Zinc chromate, Strontium chromate, Barium chromate, Lead chromate).
- other (Cobalt yellow, Naples yellow).
Examples of organic yellow pigments:
- animal (Indian yellow).
- vegetable (Saffron, Gamboge, weld, Luteolin, Xanthin, Quercitron, Persian berries).
- synthetic (Hansa, diazo dyes).
