Additive color theory
The additive color theory deals with colors that are produced when
light sources are mixed. The primary additive colors are red, blue, and
green. Adding various levels of these colors, which are generated by
a light source (such as a color monitor), produces all other colors.
Mixing equal amounts of the additive primary colors produces the
colors indicated in table 30.
