In the RGB color system, colors are presented like this: RGB(255, 0, 0) RGB defines the values of red (the first number), green (the second number), or blue (the third number). The number 0 signifies no representation of the color and 255 signifies the highest possible concentration of the color.
What the triage colours mean. Red = emergency: the patient is in imminent danger of dying or disability and needs to be seen immediately. Orange = very urgent: the patient is in a serious condition but can wait a few minutes longer. Yellow = urgent; the patient is very ill but can wait longer.
