First, let's understand why you call that device a 'cyan filter'? Was it invented by the famous Austrian Physicist Professor Cyril Cyan? Is it marketed and distributed in the US by the Cyan Filterwerks? Or is it because when you look at it, it looks the color of cyan? Could that be because whatever color of light enters one side of the filter, the only color of light that's not absorbed by the filter and remains to come out the other side is cyan light? In that case, whenever cyan light is present in the incident light ... like if it's 'white' light ... then the cyan comes out the other side and the filter looks cyan. And if there's no cyan in the incident light, then all of it is absorbed in the dyes in the filter, and the other side of the filter appears very dark, or black.

What color do you see looking through a yellow filter at a blue light?

The reason the filter appears yellow and is called a "yellow filter" is that only yellow light survives the trip through the filter and lives to emerge from the other side. If you don't hit it with yellow light, nothing comes out. If the light hitting the filter is pure blue and nothing else, you'll see no light come out, i.e. black.


What happens when a yellow book in a green filter?

When a yellow book is viewed through a green filter, the filter will absorb most of the yellow light but allow green light to pass through. As a result, the book may appear darker and its yellow color may become less vibrant when viewed through the green filter.


Is yellow absorbed by the magenta filter?

No, yellow is not absorbed by the magenta filter. Magenta filters absorb green light and allow red and blue light to pass through. Yellow light is a combination of red and green light, so it will not be absorbed by the magenta filter.
