The concept of color is explored as we learn about subtractive and additive color mixing. We examine what types of colors form when we mix different wavelengths of light. Properties and uses of pigments and dyes are discussed; the concept of luminance is introduced; and we see what makes an object transparent, transluscent or opaque.
