  • Primary colors in light are red, green, and blue.
  • Mixing these in equal amounts creates white.
  • This effect is used in theater lighting, television, and computer displays.

Subtractive Mixing

  • Subtractive mixing describes how colors are created from pigments (like paint).
  • Primary colors in pigments are red, yellow, and blue.
  • Mixing these in equal amounts creates black.
  • Mixing different pigments results in different colors.

Primary Colors
