  • Red + Green = Yellow
  • Red + Blue = Magenta

     Subtractive Color:
  • Subtractive color synthesis is the creation of color by mixing colors of pigment, such as paint or ink in computer and printer. 
  • It is contrast to additive colors.
  • The subtractive primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow are those colors whose wavelengths can be filtered or absorbed in different proportions to produce all other colors.
