Subtractive Colors (Classic)


Move spots of yellow, cyan, and magenta paint on a white surface. As the colors overlap, other colors can be seen due to color subtraction. The color of most things you see, such as cars, leaves, paintings, houses and clothes, are due to color subtraction. Observe what colors appear as different paint colors overlap.
