What is RGB?

RGB is like mixing paint, but with light instead of colors on paper.

Imagine you have three special flashlights: one red, one green, and one blue. Each flashlight shines a single color, no mix, just pure red, pure green, or pure blue. Now, if you shine all three flashlights together onto a white wall, the wall looks white. If you turn off the red light, it looks like a mix of green and blue, which is cyan. If you turn off the green light, it becomes magenta, and so on.

On your tablet or phone screen, there are tiny dots called pixels. Each pixel has three little lights inside, one red, one green, and one blue. By changing how bright each light is, they can make any color you want. Like when you draw with crayons: if you mix a lot of red and a bit of blue, it looks purple.

So RGB is just like having three friends (red, green, and blue) who work together to create every color you see on your screen, from the sky to your favorite cartoon!
