What colors do ink jet printers use to produce the colors you see. Do those colors form by color addition or color subtraction?

Inkjet printers use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) to produce colors. These colors form through color subtraction, where different combinations of the base colors absorb different wavelengths of light to create a wide range of colors.


What is it called when light blends?

When light blends together, it is known as light mixing or color mixing. This phenomenon occurs when different colors of light overlap, creating new colors through addition or subtraction of wavelengths.


Explain the appearance of coloured objects in coloured light?

When colored objects are placed in colored light, the appearance changes due to the interaction of the object’s color and the light's color. If the colored object and the light are the same color, the object appears more vibrant. If the object and light are complementary colors, the object may appear dull or greyish due to color subtraction. It’s how the colors interact and mix that determines the final appearance of the colored object in colored light.


Why does yellow ball appear red when shone with magenta light. Explain the theory behind this law of colour.?

When a yellow ball is illuminated with magenta light, the magenta light is absorbed by the ball's surface. The remaining light that is reflected and reaches our eyes appears red because red is the complementary color of green, which is what yellow and magenta combined create. This phenomenon is known as color subtraction, where certain colors are absorbed and the remaining colors that are reflected create a different perceived color.


What is the difference between additive and subtractive colors?

Additive colors are created by combining different colors of light, such as in a computer screen or television. Subtractive colors are created by mixing pigments or dyes, like in painting or printing. Additive colors combine to create white light, while subtractive colors combine to create black or dark colors.

Why is the mixing of colors called color subtraction?

Color mixing is often referred to as color subtraction because combining colors can result in the absorption or removal of certain wavelengths of light, leading to a perceived change in color. This process is based on subtractive color mixing, where different pigments or dyes absorb certain colors from the spectrum, causing the remaining colors to be reflected and perceived by our eyes.


Does color television operate by color addition or by color subtraction?

Color addition of the colors Red, Green and Blue.


Explain why mixing colors of light is called color addition but mixing pigments is called color subtraction?

Well I'm not sure about the color addition part, I have that same questin, but mixing pigments is called color subtraction because more color is absorbed and taken away then reflected and transmitted.

What colors of ink do color ink-jet printers use to produce the colors you see?

Depends. Subtractive primary colors, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Usually they add shades of two of three of these colors so that gradient are not confused with bands of constant color.

What is the result of the subtraction of two primary pigments?

Subtracting two primary pigments does not yield a specific result as the primary pigments are used to create different colors through mixing rather than subtracting. Primary pigments are fundamental colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors.
