The colors separated from visible light are called primary colors. Primary colors cannot be produced from other colors. These colors, however, can be combined to make up any other color (color mixture). The color mixture has three primary colors of light and three primary colors of pigment. The three primary colors of light are called additive color mixture, and if more colors are added, the resultant color becomes brighter. By mixing red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colored lights, various colors can be created. The three primary colors of pigment are called subtractive color mixture, and if more colors are added, the resultant color becomes darker. By mixing cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y) pigments (such as ink or toner), various colors can be created. However, black (K) is actually used as the fourth color, in addition to the three primary pigments. 1 2 1 Three primary colors of light 2 Three primary colors of pigment ENWW 137
