Anaglyph: Colours
In the whole pallet of colours, you can determine primary colours and secondary colours.
- primary colours: green, blue, red
- secondary colours: yellow, cyan, magenta
As can be seen in the scheme below, each primary colour has a complementary secondary colour.
Primary and secondary colours (Y = yellow, G = green, R = red, K = black, C = cyan, B = blue, M = magenta).
| Primary colour | Secondary colour |
|---|---|
| Green | Magenta |
| Red | Cyan |
| Blue | Yellow |
Looking at the scheme, the following can be concluded:
Red + Cyan = Black
Red + Green = Black
Red + Blue = Black
If you look through the red filter of your glasses at a green image, this image will not be perceived because it is neutralised (black). Idem with cyan and blue.
