Cyan (/ˈsaɪ.ən, -æn/) is the color between green and blue in the spectrum of visible light. It is caused by light with a predominant wavelength between 490 and 520 nm, between the green and blue wavelengths. In the subtractive color system, or CMYK color model, which can be superimposed to create all the colors in color painting and printing, cyan is one of the primary colors along with magenta and yellow. In the additive color system, or RGB color model, used to create all the colors on a computer or television screen, cyan is made by mixing equal amounts of green and blue light. Cyan is the complement of red; This can be done by removing the red from the white. Mixing red light and cyan light with the right intensity produces white light.
