I used to think that the color wheel was like the one in sixths until I checked this website. It taught me that cyan, magenta, and yellow were the primary colors and not red, yellow ,and blue because cyan, magenta, and yellow mixed made black better than the original primary colors.
Most people think that colors are tangible substances but really they are wavelengths of light reflecting into our eyes. For example, my green IKEA couch only reflects green light into our eyes. But if all of a sudden blue light reflected off of it then it would be a blue IKEA couch (and maybe the IKEA company wouldn't recognize it).
P.S. Today is my 124 month birthday!
happy birthday big boy. would you like to play Ticket to Ride: Europe to celebrate tonight?
ReplyDeleteVery thought provoking post. I wish our couch could just change colors every day - that way we could hide the stains.
Happy 124 month birthday, James! Colors are fascinating and make our world interesting and beautiful. I'm glad you found a new website that you could learn new things about them. I didn't know about cyan and magenta either.
