!!!SUBTRACTIVE COLOR MIXING EXPLANATION!!! (Color Theory) Crazy Chris is checking out subtractive color mixing, and shows you how to mix all the colors to make Black instead of White! Objective: To understand subtractive color mixing. Materials Needed: ~ 3 Clear Cup ~ Water ~ Different Color Food Coloring Step 1) Mix green and blue food coloring and observe the aqua coloring, just like when mixing colors of light. Step 2) Mix red and yellow food coloring and observe the orange color, just like when mixing colors of light. Step 3) Mix blue and red food coloring and observe the purple color, just like when mixing colors of light. Step 4) Now mix all the colors together and observe the black color, unlike when mixing all the colors of light and getting white instead. HOW DOES IT WORK: When you mix different colors of light your dealing with wave lengths and when wave lengths combined you get a more intense wave length. This makes a brighter color so when you mix all the colors of light together you get white light. Mixing colors of paints or dyes is called subtractive color mixing, because the chemicals abosorb most of the light that hits them. Thus when you mix all the colors of dyes or pigments most of the light will be absorbed instead of reflected. So instead of getting a more intense bright color you get a darker color or black. Pigments also give fruits their colors; such as the orange in oranges, the yellow in bananas and the green or red in apples. !!!SUBTRACTIVE COLOR MIXING EXPLANATION!!!
