Subtractive Colour - Arcy Art Original Oil Paintings Art Dictionary

Subtractive Colour
As oppose to additive colour which emits light, subtractive colour absorbs the wavelengths that make up white light and reflects only certain wavelengths which people observe as a particular colour. It is important to remember that the experience of colour is not absolute and can vary between different individuals.
