RGB Colours Print E-mail

November 2007

The Third Forms are now looking at how colour monitors work, and are able to produce over 16 million colours.

Three colours are mixed together. These are RGB (Red, Green, Blue).

To make black on a screen, there is no colour (0, 0, 0). To make white it is the maximum of each one (255, 255, 255). Pure red would be 255, 0, 0, and so on.

Today the boys have been working with this, and changing the colour values of shapes in Word. The were asked to use regular rather than random changes to the colours, and to use the computer to arrange the shapes in perfect order. 

The boys in 3B worked well - and with real imagination. A particularly good one is by Z Goswami-Myerscough (9.09).

In this one M Mirzan has listed the colours used. The lower the number, the darker the colour.
As he had finished he then produced a pattern of four, using just the pure colours (255,0,0, etc).
