Question

Help Please!

Think about how you can get the color white from using light versus how you can get the color white from using paint or dye. Now, think about how you can get the color black from using light versus from paint or dye. Using this, explain why we call coloring from light “additive” and coloring from paint or dyes “subtractive”.

Answer 1

Answer: Subtractive colors absorb OR subtract some lights causing it to reflect, and creating white.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtractive colors are created by completely or partially absorbing (or subtracting) some light wavelengths and reflecting others.
