The Basics of Color
6-5
Full Colors and Complementary Colors
Full Colors are described as the colors of the spectrum with the highest clarity and
purity. The combination of two full additive colors results in the color of daylight.
These colors are called complementary colors as they complement each other to
produce the color of daylight.
Rapidly rotating two full subtractive colors on a disc will combine the colors and
make them appear as gray. These colors are called physically complementary
colors.
The observation of a full subtractive color in the visual field followed by a rapid shift
to a white area will result in the illusion of an entirely different color for a short
period of time. These colors are called psychologically complementary colors.
Full colors are arranged on the color wheel such that opposing colors are either
physically or psychologically complementary colors.
Surprising Effects Using Complementary Colors
The CLC 1180/1140 uses complementary colors in the Nega/Posi function. When
an image consisting of the three additive primary colors is scanned into the copier,
it automatically replaces these additive primary colors with their respective
complementary color before printing a four-color image comprised of the
subtractive primary colors (C, M, and Y) and black (Bk).
.
The Mechanism of Color Printing
Color copying reproduces original images in tiny dots of C (cyan), M (magenta), Y
(yellow), and Bk (black).
Therefore, the colors of the original image are separated into these four colors
during copying.
C
M
Y
Bk
