THE REPRODUCTION OF COLOR Colors opposite each other are complementary. For example, cyan is the complement of red. Each color is a combination of the colors on either side of it. The additive primaries green, blue, and red separate (filter) the subtractive primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow from white light. By absorbing green, blue, and red from light reflected through transparent ink on white paper, cyan, magenta, and yellow produce color that can be reproduced on a printing press.
