Color Mixing and Reflection Lecture

Practice flashcards covering the concepts of additive and subtractive color mixing, light reflection, and primary/secondary colors as described in the lecture.

Subtractive (Dyes and Paints)

Materials that prevent light from being reflected; for example, red paint prevents blue and green light from being reflected.

Additive (Light)

The process of mixing light where different colors of light are added together.

Primary Colors of Light

Red, blue, and green.

Secondary Colors of Light

Colors produced by mixing primary colors of light, specifically magenta, cyan, and yellow.

Magenta

A secondary color of light, described as a type of pink, created by mixing red and blue light.

Cyan

A secondary color of light, described as an ocean blue, created by mixing blue and green light.

Yellow (Light)

A secondary color of light created by mixing green and red light.

Green (Subtractive)

The result of mixing blue and yellow, which reflects less blue, less yellow, and no red.

Purple (Subtractive)

The result of mixing red and blue together, which reflects less red and less blue but no yellow.

Orange (Paint)

The color produced when mixing red and yellow paint.

Violet (Paint)

The color produced when mixing red and blue paint.
