What is the difference between pigments and the color of light?
Pigments are chemicals that absorb selective wavelengths—they prevent certain wavelengths of light from being transmitted or reflected. Because paints contain pigments, when white light (which is composed of red, green, and blue light) shines on colored paint, only some of the wavelengths of light are reflected.
What happens if you mix pigment colors?
Mixing the colors generates new colors as shown on the color wheel, or the circle on the right. Mixing these three primary colors generates black. As you mix colors, they tend to get darker, ending up as black. The CMYK color system (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) is the color system used for printing.
Why are the primary colors for mixing light different than the primary colors for mixing paint?
Light is an additive system. The primary colors for an additive system are Red, Green and Blue. The difference is that subtractive systems absorb all the colors in the light except the ones it reflects. If you see a paint as red, it’s because it’s reflecting only red light and absorbing the rest.
Are the primary colors RGB or RYB?
RGB are the primary colors of light, since it is additive, meaning the more you add, the closer you get to white. RYB are the primary colors of paint, since it is subtractive, meaning the more you add, the closer you get to black.
