What is the difference between primary colors and primary colors of light?
The "primary colors" are the colors (wavelengths of light) that are combined to form other, additive shades and hues. The primary colors are red, blue, and green. When all three are added, the full spectrum is present and the light is perceived as "white". "Primary colors of light" can refer to the seven distinct wavelength ranges that exist in white light. (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) Various combinations of wavelengths are present in colored (non-white) light. The colors of objects are the result of the object surface absorbing one or more wavelengths, so that the reflected light does not contain all colors.
What primary pigment colors must be mixed to get red?
A pigment that absorbs two primary colors and reflects one is a secondary pigment.Red is a secondary pigment which absorbs green and blue light.-This is according to my physics book! !
What are the primary colors of light and how are they different from the primary colors of pigment?
The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Light is red, blue and green. You see, when you mix all of the colors of light you get white light, right? If you mix all of the colors of pigment you get a dark uglier color. I would like to add one more thing. I'm studying light and pigment in my class. Have you ever shone light into a prism and watched the colored light come back out? You can see the colors because the glass prism is denser than the air. The matter the light goes through is called the medium and if the light goes from a medium that is not very dense to one that is, the light diffracts. All of the colors of light diffract at a different angle. This is why we can see the colors. Also the reason we see color is because the wight light shines on the object and the object absorbs all of the colors except for the color the eye sees. Say you look at the grass and it appears green. The grass absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple. The grass reflects green light.
How does light make colors?
White Light never splits into 7 colors .White light is not at all splitting into any other color.I am not joking ,I am really serious about it.To prove it... do the following experiment and tell me whether I am wrong or right........Make a 1 m.m. thick line on your computer screen and see this line through a Prism.You will find that the Black line has split into five colors i.e. Primary Cyan,Primary Light Greyabove,Primary Magenta in the Middle and Primary Light Orange and Primary Yellowbelow the magenta (please keep the prism inverted..means apex downwards and base upwards otherwise you will get yellow above and Cyan below the magenta )I consider these five colors, eg. PrimaryCyan,Primary Light Grey ,PrimaryMagenta,Primary light Orange And PrimaryYellow ,as Primary colors as they are not splitting further when seen through Prism.Red , Blue and Green are Secondary colors because when these three colors are seen through prism they split into its two or more Primary components (Colors ).Draw Red , Blue and Green line on your computer screen and see them through prism...Red will split into Light Grey ,Primary Magenta,light Orange and Primary Yellow ,Blue will split into Primary Cyan,light Grey , And Primary Magenta and Green will split into Primary Cyan ,Light Orange and Primary YellowNow draw a Black block(5 cms x 5 cms) on your computer screen and see this block through prism.You will find Primary Cyan ,Deep Cyan, Ink Blue and DeepViolet at the upper edge of the black block and Post Office Red ,Deep Orange , Orangish Yellow and Primary Yellow at the lower edge of the Black block.Here I would like to tell you that a block measuring 5 cms thick block has 1mm thick 50 lines (50 x 1mm = 50mm = 5cms) .As you have seen that 1mm thick line splits into 5 primary color (Primary Cyan ,Primary Light Grey,Primary Magenta ,Primary Light Orange and Primary Yellow ) thus we are getting Four colors in the upper the edges of the Black block due to the overlapping of these 5 Primary colors of 1mm thick lines(when Primary Cyan and Primary Light Grey are overlapped it creates Deep Cyan color and when Deep Cyan is overlapped by Magenta it creates Ink Blue ,and when Ink Blue is overlapping Primary Light Orange it gives Deep Voilet in the upper margin of the black block and same thing is happening in the lower edge means when yellow is overlapped with Pimary Light Orange it forms Deep Yellow,and Deep Yellow overlaps Primary Magenta it ceates Deep Orange and when Deep Orange overlaps Primary Light Grey it forms Post Office Red ).Now we have 8 colors in total( 4 in the upper edge and 4 in the lower edge ).Now draw a Another Black block below the previous Black block.The distance between the two blocks should be atleast 1 cm . Now see these two Black blocks through Prism.You will see Green color between the two black blocks due to the overlapping of Primary Cyan of lower block and Primay Yellow of upper block and thus you see the seven colors ( Now above mentioned 8 colors becomes 7 colors due to overlapping of two colors ) of rainbow or spectrum eg. Post OfficeRed , Deep Orange , DeepYellow(in the lower margin of upper block) Green (in the middle of the 2 black blocks ) then Deep Cyan , Ink Blue and Deep Voilet (seen in the upper margin of the lower black block).Newton wrongly used Blue instead of DeepCyan and Indigo instead of Ink Blue(ROYGBIV ).When Newton used a slit through which he passed the white light at that time also the upper edge of the slit was working like the lower edge of the upper block and the lower edge of the slit was working like the upper edge of the lower black block.Green was formed due to the overlapping of the Primary Yellow and Primary Cyan formed at the two edges of the slit (or you can say that the gap between two black blocks is working just like a slit and the white color of the gap in the computer screen is just working like the white light .Everyone Knows that Newton passed a beam of white light through a slit and then this beam of light was seen through a prism and 7 colors of Rainbow was obtained.It is unfortunate..... from that time (of Newton) onwards everyone is saying that white light splits into 7 colors when seen through a prism . And on the basis of Newton's experiment still scientist are saying that the White light is made up of 7 colors and because of this reason White light is spltting into 7 colors when seen through prism .With our experiment we can say with full confidence that White Light is not at all splitting ,it is the Black which is splitting.If you have any query regarding Rainbow , Spectrum and color theory you can contact me. I am sure, I can resolve all the queries regarding the Color .P.S. : When we see the sunlight through prism at that time also we get Rainbow colors .Here I would like to tell you that around the sun also you have black / dark sky and the black margin of the sky around sun is splitting into rainbow colors. Rainbow in the sky is seen during rainy days only because water droplets of rains are making an artificial Prism and when sunlight is passing through this artificial prism of water droplets ,creating the rainbow in the sky (just opposite side of the sun )Thus I conclude that primary colors like White , Primary Cyan ,Primary Light Grey,Primary Magenta,Primary Light Pink and Primary Yellow are not at all splitting while the rest of all the other colors are splitting into its component colors when seen through Prism.
How many colors does monochromatic light contain?
one
What is the difference between primary light colors and primary pigment colors?
i think one is substractive (the mixed colors are lighter) and the other is aditive (darker)

Is yellow a prime color?
Not necessarily. Yellow is one of the three primary colors when dealing with paint, while the other two are red and blue. When dealing with light, however, which is the primary source of color, the three primary colors are green, red and blue.
What color is not consider primary color of light?
The primary additive colors (for light) are red, green, and blue. The primary subtractive colors (for pigments) are magenta, yellow and cyan. Any color other than one of the above is not a primary color.

What are the 3 primary colors of light and all the colors of the rainbow?
The 3 primary colors of light are Red Blue GreenThe secondary colors are Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta The "primary colors" are red, blue, and green. Combining these colors can create any color or shade of light, and they are represented in video displays by individual color dots within each display pixel.The "primary colors of light" refer to the "colors of the rainbow", or spectrum, which are the individual wavelength ranges present in visible light.Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet (mnemonic acronym ROY G BIV ) (note indigo is not considered a scientific solitary color anymore, demoted kind of like the dwarf planet Pluto)In "subtractive coloration", dye colors are used that absorb one or more wavelengths of light, causing the reflected light to appear as a given color. These absorptive dyes are the colors cyan (bluish), magenta (reddish), and yellow. Along with black, they are ink colors in computer printing. (mnemonic CMYK for cyan, yellow, magenta, black)(* See the related question "what are the primary colors")FYI- The 3 Primary colors of PAINT- what we draw/color with are different-They are red, blue and yellow
How many primary colors are there?
Color theory and the color wheel is based on 3 primary colors that when mixed create 3 secondary colors (orange, green and purple). One has to be careful to specify colors produced by mixing light, mixing ink or paint and the optical appearance of a color. See the link below for a complete list of all colors.
When mixing colors what makes red?
Red is one of the three primary colors.
Which primary colours overlap to produce yellow?
None, yellow IS one of the primary colors.
What colors do you mix to get red?
Red is one of the three primary colors, the other two being blue and yellow. This means that colors cannot be mixed to create red, red is mixed with the other primary colors to create other colors, secondary and tertiary colors.
What two colors make blue?
There are no two colors that make blue because blue is a primary color.
