The Art and Science of Color Mixing
Color mixing has fascinated artists and scientists for centuries, from the empirical discoveries of Renaissance painters to modern digital color theory.
Understanding Color Systems
Additive Color (RGB)
- Used in digital displays and projectors
- Primary colors: Red, Green, Blue
- Adding colors creates lighter results
- All colors combined make white
Subtractive Color (CMYK)
- Used in printing and traditional painting
- Primary colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
- Mixing colors creates darker results
- All colors combined make black
Digital Color Mathematics
| Format | Range | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hexadecimal | #000000 - #FFFFFF | #FF5733 |
| RGB | 0-255 per channel | rgb(255, 87, 51) |
| Percentage | 0-100% per channel | rgb(100%, 34%, 20%) |
