Like in "an honor" as the h is silent here. R is not silent in Red or RGB. It depends on how one reads "from a RGB." Do you say/think the letters R G B (I do), or do you think/say red-green-blue? >From the [0] web page: Articles with Acronyms, a or an Finally, the rule applies to acronyms as well. If you pronounce a letter as a letter and it begins with a vowel sound, you should precede it with an. The consonants with vowel sounds include f, h, l, m, n, r, s, and x. He flew in an SST. He fired an M‑1. He attended an FDA hearing. By the same token, if a vowel letter, with a consonant sound, is pronounced as a letter, you should use a. He made a U‑turn. Got it?
