Best Answer

primary colors are blue red and yellow

when you blend two primary colors together you get secondary colors

blue+red=purple

red+yellow=orange

yellow+blue=green

and the primary colors of light are blue red and green. when you mix blue and red light you get magenta, red mixed with green yields yellow. and green mixed with blue yields cyan blue. so you a connection between using pigment and light - the secondary colors of light magenta, yellow and cyan just happen to be the colors that printers use to generate a color picture for you instead of red, blue and green pigment which unfortunately come out too dark to be used in the printing industry. the color mixing of pigments is subtractive and alway generates a color darker than its two parents. but the mixing of colored light is always additive and generates colors brighter than their parents. when you mix all three pigments what do you see black. but when you mix all the colors of light you get white light. see here:http://home.att.net/~B-P.TRUSCIO/COLOR.htm

What is a secondary pigment?

They are pigments that absorbs 2 primary and reflects 1.


Does red and yellow contrast?

No. Red and Yellow are both primary colors. A primary color needs a secondary color to contrast with it. The contrast to red is green and the contrast to yellow is violet (purple).


How does the product of voltage and current in the primary compare with the product of voltage and current in the secondary?

The current in the secondary when the voltage is twice the primary will be one half of the primary. The current in the primary when the voltage is twice the secondary will be twice the secondary.


Compare and contrast Primary oocyte and secondary oocyte?

Primary oocytes are diploid cells that have undergone DNA replication but are arrested in prophase I of meiosis, whereas secondary oocytes are haploid cells resulting from the division of primary oocyte after completing meiosis I. Secondary oocytes are arrested in metaphase II and are released during ovulation, while primary oocytes are present in the ovaries prior to puberty.


Compare and contrast primary light colors and primary pigment colors?

Primary light colors (red, green, blue) are additive colors that mix together to create white light, while primary pigment colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) are subtractive colors that mix together to create black. Light colors are used in devices like TVs and computer screens, while pigment colors are used in print materials like magazines and paintings.


What color does brown and magenta make?

black because magenta is a primary pigment, and brown is not a primary neither a secondary pigment just a possible combination. Ans combining a primary color with a not primary o secundary color makes BLACK

What pigment will be formed when you mixed blue and yellow pigment?

When you mix blue and yellow pigment, you will get green pigment. This is because blue and yellow are primary colors that combine to create secondary colors, in this case, green.

What are the primary colors of a color wheel?

To make all colors in pigment the 3 primaries must be transparent. Transparent yellow is ASTM number PY150 made from the nickel element. Transparent magenta is PR122, C20H12N2O2. Transparent yellow and transparent magenta mix into the secondary pigment color red. The 3rd transparent primary pigment color is cyan, made from the copper element, PB15. Transparent yellow and transparent cyan make the secondary color green. Transparent cyan mixed with the the transparent magenta color make the secondary color ultramarine blue. Yellow, magenta and cyan are the primary pigment colors, red, green and blue are the secondary pigment colors. Light uses the opposite colors, the secondary pigment colors become the primary light colors. Red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors in pigment or in light. Those colors came from Newton in 1600 and they are just the most obvious colors in the prism and rainbow. RCW


What primary pigment colors must be mixed to get red?

A pigment that absorbs two primary colors and reflects one is a secondary pigment.Red is a secondary pigment which absorbs green and blue light.-This is according to my physics book! !
