Question

what are additive and subtractive colors models

Answer 1

When we mix colors using paint, or through the printing process, we are using the subtractive color method. Subtractive color mixing means that one begins with white and ends with black; as one adds color, the result gets darker and tends to black.


The CMYK color system is the color system used for printing.


Those colors used in painting—an example of the subtractive color method.

ADDITIVE COLOR.

If we are working on a computer, the colors we see on the screen are created with light using the additive color method. Additive color mixing begins with black and ends with white; as more color is added, the result is lighter and tends to white.


The RGB colors are light primaries and colors are created with light.


Percentages of red, green, & blue light are used to generate color on a computer screen.
