A clean list of RGB primary colors

Use this list as a quick reference for the additive primary colors used in digital displays.

Need a quick RGB primary colors list for a UI guide, palette sheet, or design system note? This page provides the additive primaries in copy-ready formats so you can move fast without digging through reference material. Use the text list for documentation, JSON for apps or scripts, or HTML <option> tags for dropdown menus. It is handy for labeling charts, building simple color pickers, and documenting palette standards across teams. The list stays intentionally short to make teaching and reuse easy, and you can pair it with RGB secondary colors or hex values when expanding a palette. Use it to keep labels consistent in UI specs, onboarding docs, and QA fixtures when teams share data across tools. Ideal for quick checklists, basic demos, and simple UI legends. Great for onboarding cheat sheets and quick classroom references. Because the output is deterministic and local, you can rely on it for documentation, QA, and prototypes.
