Colors can be formed by additive or subtractive methods. Additive color is when you add to the number of colors an object can reflect back to the viewer. This is best illustrated with lights. Because white is the presence of all color, adding a red, blue, and green light together, will produce white light. Subtractive coloring limits the number of colors an object can reflect back to the viewer and is the method artists use when mixing paint. Because using any color will subtract from the number of colors an object can reflect, you cannot mix colors with a subtractive method to get white.
