Do you mean the primary colours? The primary colours of pigment are red, blue, and yellow. The primary colours of light are red, blue, and green.
How does a rainbow get its colours?
Right after a thunderstorm, there will still be some water droplets in the sky. When the sunlight shines on these water droplets, the white light that is reflected off the water droplets is split into seven different colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo.
What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?
The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.
What are red blue and green colours?
red and blue are 2 of the three primary colors. green is a secondary color because you mix blue and yellow to make it.
What are the type of primary light colors?
There are two TYPES of primary colours, subtractive and addative. The primary subtractive colours are red yellow and blue. These occur when you mix paint to get different colours such as red and yellow to get orange. This happens because red paint reflects red light and absorbs all the other colours but doesn't absorb all of the orange reflecting just some. The yellow paint absorbs all the others but reflects all of the yellow and some orange and green. When red and yellow paints are mixed, the red paint absorbs the yellow and the yellow paint absorbs the red so the only colour still reflected is orange. The primary addative colours are like those on a computer monitor and are red, green and blue. These involves producing colours and not just reflecting them. To get the other colours like yellow each pixel on a monitor shines brightly in red and green and produces the same appearance to your eyes as yellow paint would.
Why a red and green jumper apperas to be black under a blue light?
Something red absorbs all the colours of light except red (which it reelects to your eye). Something green absorbs all the colours of light except green (which it reelects to your eye). Thus both red and green will absorb blue light and nothing will be reflected to your eye and the absence of reflected light is perceived as black.
What two colours are Dennis the menaces jumper?
Blue and white
What colors are reflected by a blue car?
Blue, all the other colours are absorbed.
Who made colors?
Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.
Why does a blue object illuminated by white light appear to be blue?
All other colours are absorbed by the blue object only letting the blue light be reflected or through
Why is a black table black?
A black table is black because all of the colours are absorbed , and none are reflected. It is the same for any other black item too, for example: A chair. Now, if a chair is red, that is because blue and green (the 2 other primary colours in light) are absorbed and red is reflected. It is the same for if a chair is blue or green, the two other colours are absorbed, so the colour you are seeing is reflected.
What three colours are used to build all colours on a color monitor screen?
Im Not So Sure About Colours On A Monitor Screen But.. Humans Can Only See Three Colours, Green, Blue And Red For Example A Leaf Looks Green Because Red And Blue Light Are Being Absorbed But Green Light Is Being Reflected. The Three Colours Mix To Create Other Colours Such As Magenta Or Cyan. If Something Looks Black Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Absorbed If Something Looks White Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Reflected
What happens when light hits a blue block?
Depends on the colour of the light, but with general white light, which is made up of many colours, the blue block absorbs all colours in the white light, apart from blue, which is reflected off the block into our eye, which is why the blue block appears blue to our eyes.
What is the difference between light color and pigment color?
Light is transmitted colour, it is called additive colour. Pigment is reflected colour. They have different primary colours. When the light is reflected from something, as in paint, the three primary colours are red, yellow, and blue but for transmitted light the primary colours are red, green, blue - RGB. Computer screens and televisions use RGB colour. Red + Green gives yellow; Red + Blue gives magenta and Green + Blue gives cyan.
When white light shines on Peter's shirt the shirt looks blue. Why does the shirt look blue?
White light is made up of three colours; red, green and blue. If the shirt appears blue, then the shirt has absorbed any other colours (green and red) and reflected the blue, making the shirt appear blue. I hope this has helped :)

Does the frequency of light change when it is reflected?
No. Otherwise, we would have seen new colours when light is reflected, since all the colours have different frequencies.
