For a true yellow, keep your red and green levels both at a maximum of 255. If you set the blue level as 0, you obtain a bright banana color. As you increase the blue value, you decrease the color’s brightness. A blue level of 100 creates a soft yellow; a value of 200 creates a pastel and 230 gives you a light cream.
