		A color wheel for additive color shows that mixing the primaries still creates secondary colors, however they are quite different from the pigment color wheel.
		Additive color is what is used for computer monitors, televisions, and is what our eyes see in nature.
		Interestingly enough, the primary colors for subtractive color are the secondary colors in the additive color model; cyan, magenta and yellow.

	Early Color Motion Picture Processes
		Additive color systems use colored light passing through the image elements to reconstruct the full colors on the screen.
		The screen image appears in color by means of a color wheel rotating in sync with the film, or the use of individual dye stains of the appropriate color on each frame.
		To record the full color spectrum that is visible to the human eye, we need to record the three primary color components, which are red, blue, and green.

	COLOR THEORY-ADDITIVE COLOR SYNTHESIS
		Additive Color Synthesis is the method of creating color by mixing various proportions of two or three distinct stimulus colors of light.
		The distinguishing features of additive color synthesis are that it deals with the color effects of light rather than with pigments, dyes, or filters, and that the stimuli come from separate monochromatic sources.
		The most common example of additive color synthesis is the color television screen, (or RGB monitor), which is a mosaic of red, green, and blue phosphor dots; at normal viewing distances the eye does not distinguish the dots, but blends or adds their stimulus effects to obtain a composite color effect.

	Color Glossary A-C
		Color assimilation (also known as the Von Bezold spreading effect or Bezold-Brücke effect) is the opposite of Color Contrast: Colors take on the hue of the surrounding color, whereas color contrasts moves it into the direction of the Complementary Color.
		The further the color loci of the primary colors from the origin, the greater the volume of the cuboid color gamut which is formed and thus the higher the quality of any color reproduction system which is based on it.
		Hue determines the position on the color wheel or color circle, Saturation is the purity of the color, and Luminance the range of lightness to darkness of the color.

	Color Systems - Subtractive & Additive Color
		Subtractive color mixing means that one begins with white and ends with fl; as one adds color, the result gets darker and tends to fl.
		Additive color mixing begins with fl and ends with white; as more color is added, the result is lighter and tends to white.
		Although a monitor may be able to display 'true color' (16,000,000 colors), millions of these colors are outside of the spectrum available to printers.

	RGB World - Understanding Color
		Where the blue and green spotlights overlap, the color cyan is produced; where the blue and red spotlights overlap, the color magenta is produced; where the red and green spotlights overlap the color yellow is produced.
		A red apple is a good example of subtractive color; the apple really has no color; it has no light energy of its own, it merely reflects the wavelengths of white light that cause us to see red and absorbs most of the other wavelengths which evokes the sensation of red.
		Subtractive color starts with an object (often a substrate such as paper or canvas) that reflects light and uses colorants (such as pigments or dyes) to subtract portions of the white light illuminating an object to produce other colors.

	GRAPHICS: Color displays
		Color monitors for desktop microcomputers are based on cathode ray tubes (CRTs) or back-lighted flat-screen technologies.
		The terminology and memory schemes used in color displays are directly analogous to those used to describe color depth in graphics files.
		In 8-bit images the 256 colors that make up the image are stored in an array called a "palette" or an "index." The color palette may also be referred to as a "color lookup table" (CLUT).

	Additive Color (Light Theory)
		However, our understanding of color as artists is complicated by the fact that the physics of pure light differs in fundamental ways from the physics of pigments or other coloring matter.
		"Additive" color mixtures refer to colors in light (as in the colors produced by passing white light through overlapping translucent colored "gels").
		White light was first proven to contain all of the colors by the physicist Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.

	COLOR LIGHT
		If colored light is mixed together, the brightness of the colored lights are added together.
		White light is formed where all three additive primary colors overlap.
		Since the white mixture results from the adding of all three color light sources, the white light mixture appears even brighter yet.

		The painter's color wheel is a historical artifact that refuses to die.
		The theory of colors, in particular, has suffered much, and its progress has been incalculably retarded by having been mixed up with optics generally, a science which cannot dispense with mathematics; whereas the theory of colors, in strictness, may be investigated quite independently of optics.
		Color as a visual response should not be confused with the "color" of a pigment, which is the color one would see when viewing that pigment under typical lighting conditions.

	International Paper - Additive Color (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Color reproduction on the computer monitor (and on television) is achieved by combining Red, Green, and Blue light (RGB) in varying levels to produce a full color image.
		The combining of red, blue and green colors is known as the "Additive Color Process", because when the colors of light are combined with one another, or added together, the result is an increase in light intensity.
		It is important to remember that a color that has a very intense or bright level of saturation may not necessarily be very light in value just as a very dull color may not necessarily be very dark in tone or value.

	handprint : do "primary" colors exist?
		All the 18th century color wheel authors resolved this issue in terms of tonal gradation, placing either pure fl or white paint at the center of the color wheel, mixtures of the primary colors around the circumference, and steps from the primary mixtures toward the center as increasing quantities of white or fl paint.
		Nearly a century of research was necessary to confirm the existence of these color receptors in the retina by microscopic dissection of retinas in 1828, the isolation of the rod's photopigment (visual purple) in 1877, and detailed color mixing experiments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Color matching data, repeated and varied across hundreds of different color samples and viewing situations for both normal and color deficient viewers, and archived in the color vision literature with light sensitivity and hue cancellation data, represent the ultimate sacred texts of color research.
