Cyrus is putting on a lightshow. He has two flashlights and several translucent coloured lenses. On one flashlight he has a yellow and blue lens while on the other he has a purple lens. If he shines each flashlight on the same spot of a wall, what would be the most likely result?
A)
Due to subtractive colour mixing, a grey colour will be seen where the light from each flashlight overlaps.
B)
Nothing will occur because you cannot mix yellow and blue as they are both primary colours.
C)
Mixing of complementary colours on the wall will result in the appearance of a white or grey spot.
D)
Due to additive mixing, the colour brown will be formed where the light from each flashlight overlaps.
