Question

Explain the superposition of primary colours of light with necessary illustration.Write answer of the given question.

Answer 1

This is where color can get a little confusing for some folks. There are two basic color models that art and design students need to learn in order to have an expert command over color, whether doing print publications in graphic design or combining pigment for printing. These two color models are:

Light Color Primaries (Red, Green, Blue)

Pigment Color Primaries (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)

Some of you might be scratching your heads, asking, “Where is the Blue, Red, and Yellow model?” The artist color wheel (based in blue, red, and yellow) predates modern science and was discovered by Newton’s prism experiments. Scientifically, this does not adequately address the true range of spectral color. Upon discovering more about spectral color and  how wavelengths work with surfaces (reflection/absorption) and the human eye, the blue-red-yellow model is shifting to the cyan-magenta-yellow model. We DO, however, still use the RBY model for mixing paints, and it is the most common color wheel students will typically find in art stores.
