Additive Theory of Light Primary LIGHT colours are red, green, and blue SECONDARY light colours are created by combining only two of the three primary colours of light in equal parts
Subtractive Theory of Light A pigment is a chemical that absorbs some colours of light and reflects other colours of light The primary subtractive colours are yellow, magenta, and cyan The secondary subtractive colours are red, green, blue
How subtractive colours reflect light • We see the colour yellow because blue light is absorbed and green and red produce yellow
How subtractive colours reflect light • We see the colour cyan because red light is absorbed and green and blue are reflected to produce cyan
How subtractive colours reflect light • We see the colour magenta because green light is absorbed and red and blue are reflected to produce magenta
