ColorAddition Mixing Light
If I mix red and blue, I will get... a) brown b) yellow c) magenta d) cyan
Red + Blue = Magenta!
If I mix red and green, I will get... a) brown b) yellow c) magenta d) cyan
Red + Green = Yellow
If I mix blue and green, I will get... a) brown b) yellow c) magenta d) cyan
Blue + Green = Cyan
Green Yellow Cyan Red Magenta Blue

White Light Yellow Light
Yellow Light White Light Yellow = Red + Green
Yellow Light White Light Yellow = Red + Green
Yellow and Blue are complimentary If you add yellow light and blue light, you get white light + =

White Light Yellow Light Yellow dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT yellow
Yellow Light White Light = Red + Green Yellow dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT yellow
Yellow Light White Light = Red + Green Yellow dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT yellow
White Light Cyan Light cyan dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT cyan
White Light Cyan Light = Blue + Green cyan dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT cyan
White Light green! yellow dye + cyan dye leaves ???

White Light red dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT red
White Light green dye absorbs all colors EXCEPT green
White Light all colors! red dye + green dye absorbs ???
White Light cyan dye + green dye absorbs ???
