    Study Notes

    • Subtractive color mixing is more complex than additive color mixing with colored spotlights.
    • In subtractive process, cyan filter transmits blue and green light, absorbs red; yellow filter transmits green and red light, absorbs blue; magenta transmits red and blue light, absorbs green and white.
    • Complementary colors: Magenta (shortest wavelength), Cyan, Yellow.
    • Production of colors through absorption: Objects absorb specific wavelengths based on their molecular vibrational frequencies, resulting in color separation.
    • Additive color mixture: Combining blue, green, and red lights produces cyan, yellow, and magenta secondary colors, with white light at the center.
