Did you know that white light isn’t just white light? It’s all of the colors of the rainbow (spectrum) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. All these colors mixed together as light produce white. When you shine a white light at a prism, the glass or plastic splits the colors to get these spectrum colors. This theory was proven by Isaac Newton, a very important scientist. To get white light, mix the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Red and green mixed together is yellow. Red and blue mixed together is magenta. And green and blue mixed together produces cyan. Yellow, magenta, and cyan are all additive (primary) colors.
