1 million dollar question.

Googling chanteuse saves the day!! Educate me queen

Actually it is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet easy to remember if you just think remember ROY G BIV. These are the visible colors of the spectrum that make up white light.


White is a base color. There is no color that you can mix to create it. It has no pigments. Titanium Dioxide, chalk or various silica reflect red, green and blue light and appear white to the human eye and are used in paints.


Subtractive color mixing involves a single source of light with different colors absorbing various wavelengths of the color spectrum.

6 Pages? Hope you type that double spaced instead of single.

You're in college, and you haven't learnt how to do research properly?

1. how is that physics
2. why is this thread about colors now
3. why the hell would you ask atrl when you can google it

That's because you're not mixing all the colours of light, you're mixing a bunch of substances which absorb all light which touches them except the colour that they are e.g. red paint absorbs all light which isn't red (or more specifically all light which isn't in a certain length of the spectrum, as colours aren't discrete concepts) so when you mix all these substances together, the mixture you end up with will absorb all the light that all the constituent substances absorb individually, leaving behind only the wavelengths none or few of them absorbed to be reflected, and this tends to be in the murky dark brown to black area.

Okay, if you can't see the link to Physics here you probably shouldn't be in this thread, but back in middle school brushing up on basic science concepts.

you really think this is the kind of **** physics majors do?
I think you're the one who shouldn't be in this thread

Sweetie, look up Engineering Physics.

.............................................I'm not even gonna bother

Mess have you ever gone through the physics/engineering syllabus? If you haven't you should
