What color do you get if you mix every color ever created?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think White.. Not sure..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get black

OpenStudy (4n1m0s1ty):

White

OpenStudy (anonymous):

black

OpenStudy (4n1m0s1ty):

I'm pretty sure white since the visible light is white(in some cases) and its composed of all the colors

OpenStudy (zarkon):

what if you are mixing paints ;)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

lights or paints?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Paint

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you get dark, browish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So dark brown, not black? Lol, I'm receiving so many answers!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i would say brown

hero (hero):

Clear is a color too

hero (hero):

Just ask water

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you dont get clear paint

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

water is blue , lolz

hero (hero):

ask glass

hero (hero):

what color it is

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

PAINT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, it depends. So white paint? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you were to combine all the paint in equal proportions and it was truly ALL the colors, you would get black. If you were shining different colors of light together, you would get white. I promise this is the correct answer.

hero (hero):

Every object has a color, therefore, water and glass have colors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why you yourself mix them and see on your own? Ha ha ha ha..

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

glass is green

OpenStudy (anonymous):

White on paper is the absence of color while black is all of them. White in light is every color combined, while black is the absence of light

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't have any!

hero (hero):

grass is green, not glass

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i cant see any grass- grass is invisible to be

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

to me*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the medal/fan =P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hero is also green and unklerhaukus too..

OpenStudy (zepp):

If you mixed light colors like @bl4ckj4ck777 said, rainbow colors, you'll get white. |dw:1341431277666:dw|

OpenStudy (tennistar):

this is a pretty popular question even though it isn't exactly math lol

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

this is totally physics

OpenStudy (zepp):

If you do that backward, you'll the 7 colors.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So white for light and black for paint?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what in case of paints??

OpenStudy (zepp):

I lost a verb somewhere lol

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

are we counting black and white paints as coloured paints?

OpenStudy (zepp):

I used to do chinese painting when I was young and remember I mixed all colors I had (When I'm done with my drawing) and it gives a brownish-green color.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

hero (hero):

You have mix paint then spin it together in a particle accelerator to get white paint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answers have all already been typed, read back if you haven't seen them. Black and white paints are still the same. White paint is paint without pigment (color) and is usually bleached to make it white, black is trickier, but usually uses black pigment from iron oxides which turn jet black, red, or yellow.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i ment as in some people wound exclude b&w from the colours claiming them as tones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bl4ckj4ck777 There should come a in place of first position of 4 in your username... Ha ha ha..

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

4=A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You get a dark brown color.

OpenStudy (zepp):

|dw:1341431578089:dw| Oh look, the dark side of the moon..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Water isn't blue, is the water in your cup blue?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thoth you have mixed them earlier?? Ha ha ha..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Water is tasteless and colorless..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, you'd be right to a certain extent. Tones are how much black and white are in a color, but it's an art term, not a scientific one. In light colors, black and white would be the amount of light you would see. The tone on paper is just trying to simulate what you see in real life.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can it be pure white with all the mixes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only pure white with light. and only if it's mixed perfectly, otherwise you would get a tint of color in your light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All the colors cancel each other like in mathematics -x and +x do.... Ha ha ha....

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

no you take the average

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How will you please explain?? Ha ha ha..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's very close to what you're saying actually water, the wavelengths of light add and subtract in the human eye's visible spectrum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really wouldn't think so with paint, I guess it could happen with light.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[(r,g,b):\qquad0≤r,g,b≤256\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be white.. when I was young a I mixed every color of Crayola crayon I could find and the result was definitely not white... rather blackish brown.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan, read the rest, you get black when it's paint. white when it's light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought, is there really some scientific explanation?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if your assuming a normal distribution for r,g,b (red, green, blue) format you'd get grey \[\color\grey{(127.5,127.5,127.5)}\]

OpenStudy (zepp):

Colors are frequencies, waves.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

*\[\qquad0≤r,g,b≤255\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the answer is black? grey? brown?

OpenStudy (zepp):

The color of the darkness!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HaperFink22 Yes, there's a scientific explanation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HaperFink22 I can type it again if you'd like....
