Composite images. Combine three bands into a color display by assigning each band to one of the monitor’s red, green, blue (R-G-B) channels and adding them.

  • The display mixes the three channels additively to produce color.
  • Which three bands you pick, and which display channel you send each to, defines whether the composite looks “true color” (natural) or “false color” (intentionally remapped).
