Color Theory: The Science of Light

Great summary!
Yes, many people do not know that there are two types of colour models and that we construct black and white by addition and subtraction.
I was painting quite a lot, so I am quite used to mixing pigments, but it must be a completely different issue to mix lights. Once I saw a theatre performance where the light technician wasn't on top, all of the actors on stage looked like zombies... though it was a classic Shakespeare play and they probably intended to create sunny daylight... it was quite funny...
Resteemed your post, it is a good addition to my series! :-)

Haha, yeah you can make humans look all sorts of weird! Harsh angles, no diffusion, blacklights(especially with the right costumer and a good make-up artist), too much green, or a dark red. It gets pretty strange out there.

Funny side note, there's a color-filter(or "gel" as we call them) used quite often for late afternoon sunlight or to imitate old oil lamps and it goes by the name "Bastard Amber".

Good name - LOL
