Additive and subtractive color
Computer screens and televisions use additive color, which means the colors are created
by generating light in different colors and combining them to produce a precise mix. You
produce white by combining equal amounts of red, green, and blue.
When you draw with color on paper, it is usually white paper, which reflects a full
spectrum of colors. You subtract from the white of the paper by adding pigment. The
pigment prevents parts of the light from reflecting. This is called subtractive color.
Additive color uses primary colors; subtractive color uses secondary colors. In a sense,
they’re opposite ends of the same color theory
RGB parade
Open the Lumetri Scopes Settings menu and choose Presets > Parade RGB.
The RGB parade provides another form of waveform-style display. The difference is that the red,
green, and blue levels are displayed separately. To fit all three colors in, each image is squeezed
horizontally to one-third of the width of the display.
