What Colors Make White

Answer 3

White

Answer 4

Are we talking about lightness and darkness, or the non-colors black and white? Its almost as if the word light and the color white are being used as the same definition, but I dont see how this could be. It seems the argument is based on just the colors of the rainbow when light is present (which primarily is sunlight), and sunlight isn't white! Any other physical forms of color that are combined (whether it be paint or a person) will in fact look the opposite. Can anyone shed any light on this? No pun intended! :-)

Answer 5

This is tricky, but I think I remember enough to help. See, this depends on what you're working with.

If your're working in a physical means, MOST of the time, you are working additively. All the colors together in this means makes black or some degree of gray. Leaving a blank space gives you white.

Of course, for paints and inks and digital work, if you're layering, you can get around this. Beacuse you're isolating the next pate of color, either by letting things dry or by hitting the "New Layer" button on the screen, you start working subtractively. It washes out the color under it and makes it more white. Of course, even that takes a white color.

I guess what I wanted to say is that not unless you're screwing around with the sliders in Photoshop, or you know where to find and crush up the right rocks and shells for making paint, you can't really 'make' white. You either leave it or add it later. :D

Answer 7

All of them... if you use the additive color method (mixing lights). The three primary colors of light Red, Green and Blue combine to create white light.

The subtractive (mixing pigments or paints) is just the opposite. The primary colors of Red, Blue and Yellow come together to make black. In the Subtractive, White is the absense of any color.

Answer 8

Color is a property of light, so therefore light is the source of all color, and without light color does not exist. Thus, black is the absence of all color, and WHITE is a combination of all colors.
The property of light was illustrated by Isaac Newton when he passed white light through a prism. The light separated into a rainbow of colors because of varying wavelengths.

Answer 9

Actually, white is not a color. White is white, and people who make paints and dyes and inks have to produce it separately from everything else. There is no combination of colors that will mix to create white.
