 Glossary of terms

 

Additive color

Light works in an additive manner. The primaries of light -- red, green, and blue -- can be combined in any combination to make a broad array of colors.

Added together, red, green and blue become white.

 

Additive color describes the color of light. Combined in pairs, the colors created are yellow, cyan and magenta. Combining the three primary colors creates white light.
