Stage Lighting
So exactly why does the yellow shirt of that actor change red when the stage lights change color? And how could one use rules of color subtraction to predict the color an object would observed when illuminating with a specific color of light? And perhaps even more practical, how can one decide what color spotlight should be used to make an object appear a desired color? That's enough questions. It's time to get some answers so launch the interactive and start learning.
