    Study Notes

    Color Mixing

    Additive Color Mixing

    • Combines light of different colors to produce a new color
    • Used in digital displays such as monitors and televisions
    • Primary colors: Red, Green, and Blue (RGB)
    • Mixing RGB colors in different combinations produces:
      • Cyan (Green + Blue)
      • Magenta (Red + Blue)
      • Yellow (Red + Green)
      • White (Red + Green + Blue)

    Subtractive Color Mixing

    • Combines inks or pigments of different colors to absorb certain wavelengths of light and produce a new color
    • Used in printing and painting
    • Primary colors: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (CMY)
    • Mixing CMY colors in different combinations produces:
      • Red (Cyan + Magenta)
      • Green (Cyan + Yellow)
      • Blue (Magenta + Yellow)
      • Black (Cyan + Magenta + Yellow)

    Color Mixing Models

    • RGB Model: used for digital displays, adds light to produce colors
    • CMY Model: used for printing and painting, subtracts light to produce colors
    • RYB Model: used in traditional art education, a simplified model that combines Red, Yellow, and Blue to produce colors

    Key Principles

    • Primary Colors: cannot be created by mixing other colors, base colors for mixing
    • Secondary Colors: created by mixing two primary colors
    • Tertiary Colors: created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color
