This color wheel uses the printing inks cyan, magenta, and yellow as primary colors. Note: Because cyan, magenta, and yellow inks do not combine to make black, the printing process adds black as a fourth ink.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">__Additive Color.__ This color wheel displays the additive colors used for projected light. When mixed together the additive primaries form white. The primaries are red, green and blue. These colors are extremely bright because light that is projected can be far more intense than printed color.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Artists and interior designers have long understood how color can dramatically affect moods, feelings and emotions. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">While perceptions of color are somewhat subjective, there are some color effects that have universal meaning. Colors in the red area of the color spectrum are known as warm colors and include <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">red <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">, <span style="color: #f58029; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">orange <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;"> and <span style="color: #ffff00; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">yellow <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">. These warm colors evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Colors on the <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">blue <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;"> side of the spectrum are known as //cool color//s and include <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">blue <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">, <span style="color: #9720b1; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">purple <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;"> and <span style="color: #25ad25; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">green <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">.

<span style="color: #e18ed6; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Black & White

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">In light, black is the total absence of light, or absorption of all frequencies of light. while white is the presence of all frequencies of light. We tend to think of this as the RGB way of colours - mixing red, green and blue, you finish up with a whole range of colours, depending on the "intensity" of each colour. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">With pigments, black comes from mixing together all the different possible pigments, which is why print media (which usually go on white paper) use the KYCM (black, yellow, cyan and magenta) to get specific colours. Oh, there is a special pigment for white, if one is not using white paper. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">So, Black & White are not color really, but they are a major component in how we think of other colours.
