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
