1 Subtractive colour theory

2 The colours of objects All objects are coloured with PIGMENTS
The colours we see are the colours of light that are REFLECTED by these pigments Ex. Blue jeans – ABSORB RED and GREEN light and REFLECT only BLUE light

3 Subtractive colour theory
The colours that are absorbed by an object are SUBSTRACTED from the light that is reflected back to your eye

4 Subtractive colours

5 Primary & secondary colours for light
The PRIMARY and SECONDARY colours of light for the SUBTRACTIVE theory are the OPPOSITE to the colours of ADDITIVE theory Primary Colours: CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW Secondary Colours: RED, GREEN, BLUE
