The results of the mixture are that when you
mix 50% of Green at a Wavelength of 540 nanometers and a Luminous Transmittance
of 65.5% with 50% of Red at a wavelength of 600 nanometers and a Luminous Transmittance
of 51.3%,- you get a Pale Yellow at 568 nanometers with a Luminous Transmittance
of 57.8%.
The beauty of this is that if you know both the
wavelength and Luminosity of a colored light source, you can plot it on the CEI Chromacity
Diagram, and predict how it will mix with other colors.
You only need to know two of a colors properties
to calculate the third property: If you know the Hue and Chromacity, you can
find the Luminosity. If you know the Luminosity and Chromacity you can find
the Hue, and if you know the Hue and Luminosity, you can find the Chromacity.
In most cases when working in Spectral 11 there is no need to use my modified
CEI diagram. It is only required when you know you will be working with
Spectral Magenta. Now it is time to test my hypothesis. The following pages
will do just that.
