<strong>Color</strong> Matching (2/3)<br />

<br />

<br />

But any three primaries R, G and B can’t match all visible<br />

colors (for reasons we’ll be exploring soon)<br />

Sometimes need <strong>to</strong> add/subtract some R <strong>to</strong> sample you<br />

are trying <strong>to</strong> match.<br />

0 250 20<br />

50 220 200<br />

40 0 0<br />

Try for yourself! Try matching target color with λ = 500. Impossible <strong>to</strong> do so by only adding R, G, and B:<br />
