| the principle of allowing colored light to combine within the viewers eye. In offset printing tiny dots made up of cyan, magenta, yellow and black are used while the additive primaries of red, green and blue are optically mixed to produce a full‐range of color when viewing a color monitor. Pointillists such as Seurat discovered that optical mixture achieved greater brilliance than traditionally blending the pigments on the canvas. |

Term
|
Definition
| the color mixing process used with pigments or dyes. Pigments subtract from white light all aspects of the spectrum except the hue that they reject which bounces back to the eye of the viewer. Mixing two pigments like red and yellow to achieve orange means that the red is subtracting yellow from the spectrum and yellow is subtracting red from the white light. The resulting orange color is thus a diminished hue and will never be as intense or vivid as an orange pigment. Subtractive color mixture inevitably dulls the color. This contrasts with additive color mixing. |
