Aqua, Latin for water. The web color aqua is identical to the web color cyan. It was one of the three secondary colors of the RGB color model used on computer and television displays. The name of the color model comes from the initials of the colors, red, green, and blue. In the HSV color wheel, aqua is precisely halfway between blue and green. HSV is an alternative representation of the RGB color model and was designed in the 1970s by computer graphics researchers. Aqua and cyan are used interchangeably in computer graphics. Both are made the same way on a computer screen by combining blue and green light at equal and full intensity on a black screen. Treasure aqua.
