Color blending refers to the process of combining different colors to create new ones or smooth transitions between shades. It is commonly used in various fields, such as art, design, and digital media.
Additive blending: Used in digital screens and lighting (like RGB), where colors are combined by adding light, resulting in lighter or brighter colors. For example, red, green, and blue light combine to make white. Subtractive blending: Occurs when pigments or inks are mixed, like with CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) in printing. In this process, combining colors tends to absorb more light and can create darker tones.
