In a practical trial of a thought-experiment Maxwell had published in 1855, Sutton took three separate black-and-white photographs of a multicolored ribbon, one through a blue additive primaries variously blended to reproduce a gamut of color.

The three additive primaries in the RGB color system are the three colors of light chosen such as to provide the maximum range of colors that are capable of being represented on a computer or television set.

The combination of two of the standard three additive primary colors in equal proportions produces an additive secondary color cyan, magenta or yellow which, in the form of dyes or pigments, are the standard primary colors in subtractive color systems.

Or do the same with " CMY " instead of " RGB " and use the " Multiply " blend mode . ( This will give you an inverted image . ) The latter may work better if the colors you want to remove are indeed close to the additive primaries.

That is why the name fuchsia was chosen as the equivalent to one of the three secondary additive primary colors, electric magenta, because " A Dictionary of Color " was the primary reference on color names ( besides the " Munsell Book of Color " ) before the introduction of personal computers.

In the subtractive color system, used in painting and color printing, green is created by a combination of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.
