Best Answer

If you think of red paint as not actually being red but instead being a colorless liquid which retains and absorbs all light except the color red, then it becomes obvious. With every color that you mix in, more types of light are being absorbed and thus what you observe becomes closer to the color black.

Can you combine orange and green?

Orange is a secondary colour made by mixing equal parts of the primary colours, red and yellow. Green is a secondary colour made by mixing equal parts of the primary colours yellow and blue. Any time you mix all three of the primary colours (red, blue and yellow) you get some form of grey or brown). There is no way to remove a colour from a mixture, therefore it is not possible to mix anything with green that will result in orange.

Why does photo chromatin glass become black in sunlight?

As the name suggests, photo chromatin is sensitive to UV/sunlight. Therefore, the chromatin which is sensitive to either UV or sunlight in general, would turn black in sunlight. As to why it turns black instead of other colours, it should be because of certain chemical processes that cause it to turn black.
