Well, I use pure Cobalt Blue, not a hue or mixture. I know a lot about pigments, how they behave, and I've used lots and lots of different pigments. Cobalt Blue and Ultramarine Blue are the closest to the Blue on the computer monitor. The result would be the same if you used an imaginary...

I wish that would happen but it doesn't. I am a painter with extensive experience in mixing colors. No matter how much you try to balance it, Yellow + Cobalt Blue = Green, not Black/Grey/White. If you add any less Yellow, it becomes distinctly Blue; if you add any less Blue, it becomes...

Guys I looked up more equations on color theory with subtractive color mixing. I figured some out too. (C = Cyan, M = Magenta, Y = Yellow) (R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue) Additive Color Mixing: R + B = M R + G = Y B + G = C M = -G Y = -B C = -R B - G = R B - R = G G - B = R G - R = B...

The thing that concerns me the most is how the colors have different luminosity and when mixed the luminosity don't add up. Is there an equation that explains this?

The measurements come from Adobe Photoshop. Perhaps Cyan consists of two colors (blue and green) and one color (cyan) at the same time?

Hey guys I figured out something new about color theory in additive color mixing. So, the primary colors in additive color mixing are R, G, and B (Red, Green, and Blue). The secondary colors are C, M, Y (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). Using basic knowledge we know that R + G = Y R + B = M G + B = C...

I am curious what a photon looks like if we could observe it pass through space. It's also supposed to be oscillation of electromagnetic field. I don't understand what that means. Is it the field gets stronger and weaker and stronger and weaker, or spreads out and shrinks etc etc? Or if it's...
