No, primary pigments absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, which gives them their specific color. For instance, cyan absorbs red light and reflects blue and green light, magenta absorbs green light and reflects blue and red light, and yellow absorbs blue light and reflects red and green light.

What are the primary pigments of light?
The primary pigments of light are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in various ways to create all the colors that we perceive.
What are the substances that absorb light energy called?
Substances that absorb light energy are called pigments. These pigments capture specific wavelengths of light, which drives chemical reactions within the organism such as photosynthesis in plants or vision in animals.
What planets produce their own light?
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
Which planet emits or reflects light?
All planets in the solar system reflect light from the Sun at night; remember they rotate on their axis and so during their night (or our night, for that matter) one side of a planet will always be facing the sun. Whether they're visible from an observer on Earth during our night is a different question - the inner planets, by virtue of the fact they're closer to the Sun, could be seen only in favorable conditions near sunset or sunrise (since they couldn't appear more distant than a narrow angle away from the sun in the sky, being inside Earth's orbit).
Is Earths moon the only moon that reflects light?
No, many moons in our solar system reflect light from the Sun. Moons like Europa, Ganymede, and Titan also reflect sunlight, just like Earth's moon.
Pigments act differently from light because they reflect their own color and all the others?
Pigments act differently from light because they reflect their own color and all the others absorb.
What are the primary pigments of light?
The primary pigments of light are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in various ways to create all the colors that we perceive.
What happens when you mix all three primary pigments in equal amounts?
When you mix all three primary pigments (red, blue, and yellow) in equal amounts, you will get a dark brown or black color. This is because the three primary pigments will absorb most of the light wavelengths, resulting in a darker hue.
Why does mixing the primary colors of light produce white light but mixing paint that have the primary colors produces black paint?
White light is made up of the full spectrum of wavelengths of visible light. True black is the absence of any light. Coloured paints (pigments) act like filters in that a specific pigment will reflect a certain group of wavelengths of light but absorb all the others. So when primary pigments are mixed together they will absorb pretty much all of the light, leaving a colour that looks almost black. As pigments act like filters, we think of them as being subtractive. If, on the other hand, light beams of different wavelengths are allowed to converge they add together. So when three primary colours of light (of the same intensity) converge together the mix will be seen as white light. Or, to take another example, when red and green light are mixed they will appear as yellow light. So, in sum, light itself is additive whereas pigments are subtractive.

What color will you get if you mix all the pigments together?
If you mix all pigments together you will get a murky brown color that borders on black.
What is the difference between white in light and white in pigments?
White light is a mixture of all of the colors of the spectrum. White paint is created with pigment, often titanium dioxide. While white light contains all of the frequencies of the optical spectrum, and white pigments reflect all colors of that visible spectrum.
What are the primary and secondary colors of lights and pigments?
The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue, while the secondary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. In contrast, the primary colors of pigments are cyan, magenta, and yellow, with red, green, and blue as secondary colors. Mixing the primary colors of light results in white light, while mixing the primary colors of pigments produces black.
Why does a dandelion appear yellow in white light?
Dandelions appear yellow in white light because they reflect predominantly yellow wavelengths of light and absorb other colors. The pigments in the flower, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, give it its yellow color. These pigments absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect yellow light, making the dandelion appear yellow to our eyes.
What color do you get when you mix all primary colors?
In pigments like paint, crayon, and so forth, you would get black. If you mix all the colors of light, however, you get white or clear.
Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?
No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.
What happens when the three primary pigment are mixed together?
When the primary pigments cyan, magenta, and yellow are mixed together in equal amounts, they absorb all wavelengths of light and result in a black color. This is known as subtractive color mixing, where the pigments absorb specific colors to create different hues.
