Mix together three colors of liquid light! When you mix three cups of red, green, and blue paint, you get a muddy brown. But when you mix together three cups of light, you get white.
Here’s a trick question – can you make the color “yellow” with only red, green, and blue as your color palette? If you’re a scientist, it’s not a problem. But if you’re an artist, you’re in trouble already. The key is that we would be mixing light, not paint. Mixing the three primary colors of light gives white light.
