Color subtractive mixing

Hand-drawn designs perhaps colored with subtractive mixes of the red yellow blue (RYB) paint primaries. Glare from substrate and its color may affect color reproduction when scanned or photographed. 

The methods described above are based on additive color mixing, but color can also be specified using subtractive colorimetry. Where the sample is transparent, colored glasses are used to subtract light from a standard source until the resulting color visually matches that transmitted by the sample. 

In contrast to normal pigments, where colors are subtractive, interference pigments lead to additive color mixing. Also, particle size plays a vital role in the effect produced - smaller particles give a satin effect, while coarser ones produce a sparkle effect. In actual... 

The RGB color space uses additive color mixing. It is based on what kind of light needs to be emitted to produce a given color. In contrast, CMYK uses subtractive color mixing. It is used for inks or coatings and it is based on the light reflected from the substrate by which the surfaces produce a certain color. 

Additive color mixing is used in color monitors and color television screens. Subtractive color mixing is used for all the photographs and art in this printed text. 

Using ideas of subtractive color mixing, we ascertained the wavelength components of white light that the complex cation absorbs. The broadness of the absorption band is due to vibrations in the metal to oxygen bonds. By using the maximum of the absorption curve, we calculated the most probable energy of the absorbed photons. 

A complementary color is a secondary color that mixes with the opposite primary color on the color wheel to produce white light in additive color mixing or black in subtractive color mixing.

The color of the dye is presented as one specific color point in the QxQy chromaticity diagram, and the QxQy coordinates are independent of the dye concentration. When two colors are mixed, the color point corresponding to the subtractive mixture will always lie on the fine joining these two colors. The location of the color point depends on the mixing ratio.
