Basic color principles

By admin on Oct 7, 2011 | In Art Glossary/Definitions | Send feedback »

All color theory is based on the principle that 'color is light'.
An object that we see as red contains pigmentation which absorbs all of the colored rays of white light except the red color, which it reflects. White pigment absorbs none of the colored rays, and black absorbs all of the colors of the spectrum.
