Colours of light
primary light colors are the mixed of red green and blue and pigment is solid colors
To make all colors in pigment the 3 primaries must be transparent. Transparent yellow is ASTM number PY150 made from the nickel element. Transparent magenta is PR122, C20H12N2O2. Transparent yellow and transparent magenta mix into the secondary pigment color red. The 3rd transparent primary pigment color is cyan, made from the copper element, PB15. Transparent yellow and transparent cyan make the secondary color green. Transparent cyan mixed with the the transparent magenta color make the secondary color ultramarine blue. Yellow, magenta and cyan are the primary pigment colors, red, green and blue are the secondary pigment colors. Light uses the opposite colors, the secondary pigment colors become the primary light colors. Red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors in pigment or in light. Those colors came from Newton in 1600 and they are just the most obvious colors in the prism and rainbow. RCW

Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.
The color sage is a shade of green. Therefore, it is made from green, if we are speaking of the trichromatic theory of light. In terms of pigment, it would be made from yellow and blue.
primary colors are blue red and yellow when you blend two primary colors together you get secondary colors blue+red=purple red+yellow=orange yellow+blue=green and the primary colors of light are blue red and green. when you mix blue and red light you get magenta, red mixed with green yields yellow. and green mixed with blue yields cyan blue. so you a connection between using pigment and light - the secondary colors of light magenta, yellow and cyan just happen to be the colors that printers use to generate a color picture for you instead of red, blue and green pigment which unfortunately come out too dark to be used in the printing industry. the color mixing of pigments is subtractive and alway generates a color darker than its two parents. but the mixing of colored light is always additive and generates colors brighter than their parents. when you mix all three pigments what do you see black. but when you mix all the colors of light you get white light. see here:http://home.att.net/~B-P.TRUSCIO/COLOR.htm
White absorbs the least light. The "pigment" that causes the color white does not absorb any other colors, so all the colors are reflected back to you as "everything", or white. Think of white light. There are many colors hidden in white light, and by the process of refraction, white light can be separated and a rainbow of colors revealed. Black, on the other hand, is a pigment that absorbs all colors of light. Since no color is present, what you see is essentially a reflection of "nothing".
The primary colors, also called light primaries, or additive colors, are; red, blue, and green. The pigment primaries are called subtractive and consist of; magenta, yellow, and magenta. They are paired together as additive and subtractive pairs: Red/cyan. blue/yellow, and green/magenta.

The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Light is red, blue and green. You see, when you mix all of the colors of light you get white light, right? If you mix all of the colors of pigment you get a dark uglier color. I would like to add one more thing. I'm studying light and pigment in my class. Have you ever shone light into a prism and watched the colored light come back out? You can see the colors because the glass prism is denser than the air. The matter the light goes through is called the medium and if the light goes from a medium that is not very dense to one that is, the light diffracts. All of the colors of light diffract at a different angle. This is why we can see the colors. Also the reason we see color is because the wight light shines on the object and the object absorbs all of the colors except for the color the eye sees. Say you look at the grass and it appears green. The grass absorbs red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple. The grass reflects green light.
The light effects the color inheritance of Nicotiana. If it doesn't have light it will turn out yellow If it has light it will turn out green. It needs chlorophil in order for it to have it's green pigment. Chlorophil is a green pigment implant that interacts with sunlight. The yellow plants does not have chlorophil, thats what makes them yellow
