The color mixing lab explores how light behaves when it interacts with our eyes, surfaces, and filters. Additive and subtractive color mixing are both involved in the physics of light. Understanding how different wavelengths combine, how pigments absorb specific wavelengths, and how our cone cells in the back of our eyes detect colors. By experimenting with colored lights and filters, the lab demonstrated fundamental optical principles such as reflection, absorption, and wavelength mixing, which are essential to understanding how we perceive color and how technologies like screens, cameras, and printers manipulate light.
