Capstaff, a former portrait photographer and physics and engineering student had already worked on colour photography before he joined C.K.

RG color model uses red and green filters for film exposure, but complementary cyan-green (for red) and orange-red (for green) for the developed prints. This allows the generation of white, although the color model cannot achieve black, regardless of the primaries chosen. It was used in several
