ITPEC IP April 2022 Question 24
ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 24 of 100
The theoretical result of mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow pigments is black. Subtractive color mixing begins with reflected white light and removes wavelength ranges. Cyan absorbs red, magenta absorbs green, and yellow absorbs blue. Combining all three ideally absorbs all three primary light components, leaving no reflected light and therefore producing black.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- blue results from mixing cyan and magenta
- red results from mixing magenta and yellow
- green results from mixing cyan and yellow
Key rule: In ideal subtractive CMY mixing, two inks form red, green, or blue, while all three together form black; real printers add black ink because actual CMY inks are imperfect.
