Question

In the RGB (red-green-blue) colour system, the value for each colour component varies from 0 to 255. If the RGB values of a particular colour were R=255, G=140, B=0, then which colour is it?

• A. Orange
• B. Yellow
• C. Brown
• D. Grey

Hint:

When identifying colors based on RGB values, higher red and green values with no blue create shades of orange.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the RGB values.
The RGB color system uses values from 0 to 255 for each color component: Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B). A high value for red and green and a low value for blue typically results in an orange color.
Step 2: Interpreting the given values.
- Red (R) = 255 (maximum value, meaning the red component is fully present). - Green (G) = 140 (moderate intensity of green). - Blue (B) = 0 (no blue component). This combination of red and green with no blue is characteristic of the color orange.
\[ \boxed{(A) \, \text{Orange}} \]
