Ooh, I've only heard of the primary colours of red, blue and yellow. I've not heard of subtractive or additive primary colours. Going to read more now.

I hadn’t heard or ever learned of a subtractive color. Maybe it’s a newer thing. I only learned the primary colors and ofc ROY G BIV. lol but I am old 👵🏼

Rosie-knees, in photography the way colors work is different from simply painting.

RBG monitors were done of the first color monitors for computers.. Red Blue Green. All the primary colors, and they could make all other colors with those 3.

Subtractive colours? Any Additional ones!!! Got it right by knowing the others weren’t taken away!

I thought I knew something about colors. Looks like what I was taught was terribly insufficient. oh well I will never get too old to learn. I am 74 and learning about basic colors. That is why I like this game.

Sis, Tell me about it! I have a cousin who used to be a colorist for Disney. She tried to teach me about color but ended up being a snob about it so I didn't learn much. I really do love color. 🤣

A-ha! I always wondered why color laser printers have 4 toner cartridges, black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. This explains it. 😃i

I only came to know this back in 8th grade when we had an activity about white light spectrum. I was even confused because in Arts, Red, Yellow and blue are the primary colors.

i knew of an illustrator who mixed his paint that way so it would reproduce accurately in print media…..a simpler time.

wait..so the 3 primary colours of paint pigments - red, blue and yellow, aren't counted as subtractive colours? but the 3 primary colours used by printers are?
