Color Mixing

Color Mixing starts with the three primary colors: red, green and blue. When you mix all of the primary colors, you should get a white light. When you mix red and green, you get yellow. When you mix red and blue you get magenta, when you mix blue and green you get cyan. If you are wearing a red shirt and you shine a blue light on the shirt then the shirt would appear black. If you shine a red light on a red shirt then it would appear red. The thing that happens when you shine light on an opaque material is it absorbs all the colors except the color that it is. If the same color light shines on the the opaque material then it reflects that color.
