CYAN is the blue-green color that is between blue and green on a modern RGB
color wheel.
The modern RGB color wheel replaced the traditional old-fashioned RYB color
wheel because it is possible to display much brighter and more saturated
colors using the primary and secondary colors of the RGB color wheel. In the
terminology of color theory, RGB color space has a much larger color gamut
than RYB color space.
The first recorded use of _cyan_ as a color name in English was in 1879.[1]
