In the RGB color model, what value represents black?

The correct answer is: 0

In the RGB color model, color is represented using three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Each color component can take a value from 0 to 255, with 0 being the absence of that color and 255 representing full intensity. To understand the value that represents black, it’s essential to consider that black is created when there is no light emitted from any of the colors. When the RGB values are all set to zero (0 for red, 0 for green, and 0 for blue), it results in the absence of light, which we perceive as black. Therefore, a value of 0 in the RGB model signifies black. Conversely, other values such as 255 and 128 introduce varying intensities of light that would produce different colors. For instance, a value of 255 would result in full intensity and yield white when all three components (red, green, and blue) are set to this value. The number 100 is outside the typical 0-255 range used for RGB components and wouldn’t accurately represent any specific color in this context. Thus, the only correct representation of black in the RGB color model is when the values are all set to 0.
