| Yellow is any color of light that stimulates both the red and green cone cells of the retina, but not the blue cone cells. Light with a wavelength of 565–590 nanometers is yellow, though light with both red frequencies and green frequencies, such as mixing orange and lime light, or red and green light, is also yellow, and its scientifically defined complementary color in terms of color mixing using light is blue. Yellow lasers have among the lowest input-to-power efficiency. The color box at right shows yellow as reproduced on a computer screen, which uses a RGB color model or it is additive secondary. |
