The VGA interface is common to most modern computer displays and is based on a pixel map, color planes, and horizontal and vertical sync signals. A VGA monitor has three color signals (Red, Green, and Blue) that set one of these colors on or off on the screen. The intensity of each of those colors sets the final color seen on the display.
