The color defined as green in the RGB color model, displayed on the right, is the brightest possible green that can be reproduced on a computer screen, and is the color named green in X11. It is one of the three primary colors used in the RGB color space along with red and blue. The three additive primaries in the RGB color system are the three colors of light chosen such as to provide the maximum gamut of colors that are capable of being represented on a computer or television set. This color is also called color wheel green. It is at precisely 120 degrees on the HSV color wheel, also known as the RGB color wheel (Image of RGB color wheel). Its complementary color is magenta. Another name for this color is electric green as opposed to the darker HTML/CSS green and the deeper pigment green, both shown below. Green takes up a large portion of the CIE chromaticity diagram because it is in the central area of human color perception.
