Question

An object appears magenta, what are the primary colours it reflects and absorbs?

Answer 1

1. If an object appears in magenta colour it will reflect blue and red light.
2. And it will absorb all other colours except red and blue.
3. When an object reflects all the primary colours, it will appear in white.
4. When an object absorbs all the primary colours, it will appear in black.
5. When an object absorbs all other colours and reflects only one primary colour, it will appear in the reflected colour.
6. If an object absorbs all other colours and reflects two primary colours, it will appear in secondary colour which is the combination of two colours.

Hence, if an object appears in magenta colour it will reflect blue and red light.
