Complementary color,
one of two colors so related to each other that when blended
together they produce white light; -- so called because each
color makes up to the other what it lacks to make it white.
Artificial or pigment colors, when mixed, produce effects
differing from those of the primary colors, in consequence of
partial absorption. --
Of color (as
persons, races, etc.),
not of the white race; -- commonly
meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or
mixed. --
Primary colors,
those
developed from the solar beam by the prism, viz., red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, which are reduced by
some authors to three, -- red, green, and violet-blue. These
three are sometimes called fundamental colors. --
Subjective or
Accidental
color,
a false or spurious color seen in some
instances, owing to the persistence of the luminous impression
upon the retina, and a gradual change of its character, as where
a wheel perfectly white, and with a circumference regularly
subdivided, is made to revolve rapidly over a dark object, the
teeth of the wheel appear to the eye of different shades of color
varying with the rapidity of rotation.
