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).
Synonyms and Related Terms
