MIXORA CONCEPT
Additive color mixing
Combining emitted light so that the light reaching the eye contains more energy or more wavelength regions.
Screens create color by adding red, green and blue light in different amounts. Adding all three at high intensity moves toward white; this is a different physical process from mixing paint.
What “Strong evidence” means
The core definition or effect is well established across authoritative standards, foundational research or a broad research literature. The label does not make every practical prediction certain.
VISUAL EXPLANATION · MARKER BOARDA screen produces yellow by emitting red and green light together.
RGB values describe emitted display light, not a recipe for physical pigments.
Is the color source emitting light or reflecting illumination?
Mixing colorants that absorb parts of incoming light, usually producing a darker, less reflective mixture.
