Easyjet Boeing 737-700 (G-EZJH) at the end of the landing run at Bristol International Airport, England.

This photo also illustrates the colour Safety Orange. In the RGB colour description system this orange is described as (255, 102, 0). The RGB system splits the colour into three components (Red, Green and Blue), each defined by a number that varies between 0 (none of that component) and 255 (all of that component). Any colour can be defined by just these three numbers.

The recipe to make the orange of this Easyjet aircraft is: take 255 parts of red (i.e pure red), take 102 parts of green, and take no blue at all. If these values are typed into the colour choice area of a graphics programme the exact colour Easyjet use will be available. What use is all this? It is obviously essential for a graphics artist working on Easyjet publicity to have the exact orange to work with. Similarly I use the numbers to check my camera/computer reproduction of that orange is correct.
