The absorption of certain wavelength of we light incident on a colored surface the remaining portion being reflected or transmitted
Selective absorption
A color produced by mbding cyan,yellow,and magenta plgments,each of which absorbs certain wavelength.A balanced mbcture of these colorant or subtractive primaies theoretically yields black since it absorbs all wavelength of visible light
Subtractive color
A color produced by combining lights of red,green,and blue wavelengths These light or additive primaries contain all the wavelengths necessary to produce a colorless or white light
Additive color

Warm

Split complementary
A combination of three colors forming an equilateral triangle on a color wheel
Triad
One of two or three closely related colors on a color wheel
Analogous color
One of a pair of opposing colors on a color wheel perceived as completing or enhancing each other
Complementary
A color as brown produced by mixing two secondary colors or a secondary color with one of its constituent primaries
Tertiary color
A color as orange green or violet produced by mixing two primary colors
secondary color
Any of a set of colors as red yellow and blue regarded as generating all other colors
