Pointillism Pointillism is analogous to the four-color CMYK printing process used by some color printers and large presses that place dots of Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow, and Key (black). Televisions and computer monitors use a similar technique to represent image colors using Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) colors. If red, blue, and green light (the additive primaries) are mixed, the result is something close to white light (see Prism (optics)). Painting is inherently subtractive, but Pointillist colors often seem brighter than typical mixed subtractive colors. This may be partly because subtractive mixing of the pigments is avoided, and partly because
Light blue Other Light blue The first recorded use of "light blue" as a color term in English is in the year 1915. In Russian and some other languages, there is no single word for blue, but rather different words for light blue (голубой, goluboy) and dark blue (синий, siniy). The ancient Greek word for a light blue, "glaukos", also could mean light green, gray, or yellow. In Modern Hebrew, light blue, "tchelet" (תכלת) is differentiated from blue, "kachol" (כחול). In Modern Greek, light blue, "galazio" (γαλάζιο) is also differentiated from blue, "ble" (μπλε). Cartography Flags Gender Interior design School colors Sports
