Is this a trick homework question? I don't believe there is a 100% truthful answer because a subtractive colour is made up of two primaries, and a primary colour is not subtractive any more than a subtractive colour is primary ("...primary subtractive colour..."). Neither can there be a "main" subtractive colour if we are to consider your use of the word "primary" in your question to mean that.
The complementary colour to red is cyan, which is made up of blue and green in equal amounts.

What minus red equals white?
Removing colors from a mixture to get the color white is known as subtractive color mixing. Removing the color cyan from red will turn the mixture white.
What are the complementary colors of each primary color?
Red Blue and yellow are the primary colours. Red and blue make purple. Red and Yellow make orange. Blue and yellow make green. So the complementry colours are Purple Green and Yellow Hope it helped :)
Which color are the primary color?
Red, Blue, and Yellow are the primary colors.
What is the primary color in the color wheel?
There are three. Red, yellow, and blue.
What primary colors produce the color magenta?
red and blue
What color does red and yellow make using subtractive primary colors?
Red and yellow are both primary colors so if you mix them together you would get orange.
What is a complementary color of yellow?
blue Actually its purple. If you look at the color wheel for primary colors it is always the color that is mixed by the other two primary colors. For example for red its green (blue and yellow) for blue its orange (red and yellow). So the complementary color for yellow is purple (red and blue).
What color is not considered a primary color of light bluegreen yellow or red?
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.
Which is not a primary color green blue red yellow?
Believe it or not, it depends. There are two models of color theory, additive and subtractive. In the additive model, which is when light goes through color (think theatre lighting, video cameras, televisions), the primary colors are red, green and blue. In print (subtractive model), where light reflects off color, the primary colors are generally considered to be cyan, magenta, yellow and black.AnswerNot green or blue ANSWER:Yellow. Old monitors were called RGB, red green blue, all colors can be made from these three.
When do you use color subtraction?
Nearly all modern color photographic film processes use subtractive color because it is more efficient. It produces a very good facsimile of the original scene colors with less loss of light than with additive color. Each additive color filter subtracts two-thirds of the white light striking it, while each subtractive color filter transmits two-thirds. With three color dye layers in subtractive color film, all colors can be reproduced: the subtractive primaries are magenta, cyan, and yellow, each of which absorbs its complementary color. Combinations of these three colors can reproduce their shared additive primary. For example, magenta transmits red and blue, while absorbing green light. Cyan transmits blue and green, while absorbing red. When superimposed, both red and green are absorbed and only the shared blue transmission is permitted. By varying the density of each subtractive filter, virtually any color can be reproduced.
Is red really a red color?
No, you are a llama. Actually, In the Red is any of a number of colors evoked by light with mostly the longest wavelengths of light that can be seen with the naked eye. In the Additive colors Red is a Primary color used on RGB Color Wheel. However, in the arts where mixing ink, paint, or dyes (aka: Subtractive Color) the most commonly used color wheel consists of Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. So it depends. What type of color do you mean? Primary, Secondary, a light color, an additive or a subtractive? The list goes on and on. In my opinion, Regardless of what may or may not be used to make it appear Red, its still a color. :)
What colors are opposite each other on the color wheel?
They are called complementary colors. The three primary colors on the color wheel are red (complement green), yellow (complement purple) and blue (complement orange). When used together, complementary colors (such as red and green) appear to be more intense than they do when used alone or with colors closer to them in the color spectrum. Complementary colors are the color pairs that are opposite of each other on the color wheel. Such as green and red.
What is the importance of additive and subtractive to photography?
Additive and subtractive are colour theories. Subtractive theory means when we add Primary colours (red, Blue, Yellow) we get black. But in Additivee colour theory primary colours are red, green and blue. Mixing those we get white light. The aditive colour theory is used in Photography and primary colours are also red, Green and Blue (RGB)
What color to combine to get yellow color?
> no yellow is a primary color.no need of mix. > You can't mix anything to get yellow; because yellow is a primary color. First you have to ask whether you are dealing with ADDITIVE colors or SUBTRACTIVE colors. ADDITIVE colors are like colored lights. SUBTRACTIVE colors are like paint. For additive colors, you can make yellow from adding red and green light. Or yellow, being a "spectral" color, means that light of a pure certain wavelength, around 570nm, is itself yellow. For subtractive colors, yellow indeed is a primary, and is the reason that the inks coming from most color printers are NOT red, green or blue, but rather cyan, magenta and yellow (and sometimes black). These are the SUBTRACTIVE primaries. The additive primaries are red, green and blue, which is why LCD screens have RGB pixels (which emit light).
Are the three primary red green and blue or yellow cyan and magenta?
The three primary colors are red, green and blue in the additive (light using) color system. In the printing industry the colors are yellow, cyan and magenta. This last is called the subtractive (paints and inks) color system.
The complementary color for green is?

What is the complementary color for green?
