RGB

→ RGB

The colour mode built from red, green and blue components.

seeloSaMmala(RGB)

RGB is the default mode. Each number is a component: red, green and blue, normally 0 to 255.

The name is left untranslated. The rule is the one that keeps PI as PI: it is a label the learner meets in the world. RGB is written on computers, phones and every paint program — and Setswana leaves it as RGB too; bohibidu-botala-botala jwa legodimo is a gloss, not a name.

That is what separates it from fometaPalo (nf), an abbreviation of an English phrase no learner has ever seen on a screen.
