‘Why are computer parts that light up referred to as RGB?’- Is it a logical question?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
No, all the lightings of a computer are not RGB light. There may be single-colored LEDs in different parts of a computer. But yes, today’s trend is to use more RGB light than any single-colored lights in computer parts. This actually depends on the design as well as the purpose of the part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, Logitech K740 is a keyboard that has a single-colored backlit and that is white that illuminates the keys so to ensure their visibility in low light. But as we already said, most of the computer parts are now RGB. So though it is not 100% true, it can be said to make a point to support the fact that RGB lighting demand is increasing day by day. However, the final answer to the question is whether it is actually true that all the computer parts that light up are referred to as “RGB” is “No, but almost all the LEDs are RGB”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going to the Question Actually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s go to the main question now. If all the parts are not RGB then why most of the people referred them as RGB? Why are computer parts that light up referred to as RGB to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want the answer directly, we already gave it. They may say this indicates the growing demand for RGB lighting in computer components. But if your question is why those lighting are called RGB lighting, then we need to clarify some points and they are discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason why any computer parts that light up are referred to as RGB?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Overview of RGB lighting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
What is RGB lighting actually? RGB lighting is a model that uses three primary colors, Red, Blue, and Green, and creates a wide range of lighting effects. It is being used in various devices and computer parts are one of them. We need to know how does it work first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RGB lighting Model works by using LEDs that emit three primary colors. These color are combined in different intensities and gives a totally different color. They can give us 16,777,246 possible colors<\/a> of different intensities. Because they have 3 colors and each color has 256 intensities level. By controlling the brightest levels of each LED, the desired color can be achieved. If all three colors are mixed at their maximum intensities, the human eye will observe the white color. Though RGB Model cannot produce pure white light. Don’t know why?<\/a> Learn Now by clicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now how this mixing is controlled in an RGB lighting diode. It is engineering. We will learn that some other day, but some control remains in users’ hands using IR remotes, Bluetooth remotes, software, etc. Hope this will be enough to find out the answer to the question ‘Why are computer parts that light up referred to as RGB?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How primary colors make others: A basic concept<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In nature, the colors we observe are made by the combination of different wavelengths of light. We already know the primary colors of light in nature are red, green, and blue, just like in the RGB model. When these colors of light combine in different intensities, they can create a variety of secondary and tertiary colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s have some examples to be more clear. When red and green wavelengths of light overlap, they produce the color yellow. Again blue and red wavelengths create magenta, and when green and blue form cyan. These secondary colors can further mix with each other or with the primary colors to create an even wider range of colors and shades found in the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, The Final Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Why are computer parts that light up referred to as RGB? Finding the result step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
First of all, RGB light is that light which uses Red, Green, and Blue light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Other colors (256 x 256 x 256 colors) can be made using those three colors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Most computer parts are made of RGB LEDs because it gives a huge number of colors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
As almost all the parts that light up have RGB LEDs, it is being said that they are RGB. But actually not 100% of them are RGB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The computer parts that light up should be referred to as RGB if they use RGB LED and can make all the possible colors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If the single-colored LED is used, then that part, though lit up, should not be referred to as RGB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
That’s all for this topic. Hope all is clear. If not, you can ask questions in the comment box. Thanks for being with RGB for Gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, it can easily be said that not all computer parts that light up are RGB. It is true that RGB lighting is nowadays being used at a large scale, but there are still a lot of computer products available that are non-RGB but have backlit of a single color or even multi-colored but can not mix and produce others. Those are not RGB. Other parts, use 3 colors and produce more color by mixing them, which should only be referred to as RGB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
