COLOUR THEORY: ADDITIVE & SUBTRACTIVE

Subtractive Colour (CMYK)

CMYK is subtractive mixing and is used in printing processes. The colours that are used are Cyan, Magenta and key which isn’t black but its as close as it can get.

Additive Colour (RGB)
RGB is additive mixing. These are used for screen displays. The colours used in RGB are Red, Green and Blue.
The differences between subtractive and addictive are how they are both mixed. Subtractive mixing is done by removing certain colours and additive mixing is accomplished by adding two or more colours
