Description

Blue is one of the three primary colours in the RYB colour model, as well as in the RGB (additive) colour model. It lies between violet and cyan on the spectrum of visible light. The term blue generally describes colours perceived by humans observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called the Tyndall effect explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.

नीला रंग वह है, जिसे प्रकाश के प्रत्यक्ष वर्णक्रम की 440–490 nm की तरंगदैर्घ्य द्वारा दृश्य किया जाता है। यह एक संयोजी प्राथमिक रंग है। यदि HSL एवं HSV वर्ण चक्र पर देखें तो इसका सम्पूरक रंग पीला है,। परंपरागत वर्णचक्र पर इसका सम्पूरक रंग है नारंगी।
