Re: [FCP-L] Best way to Matte White Screen

Indeed, we are discussing Additive vs. Subtractive.

If I remember high school art class, although theoretically mixing all
colors creates black. In fact, it creates brown. That is why, I believe,
they need the K in CMYK. Mixing any two complements of colors (opposite
sides of the color wheel) create brown. Well, if you use all colors, you
have every color with its complement. Thus you are mixing brown and brown
and brown, etc.

It was something that always puzzled me.
