"CMY" is a subtractive process and uses a single white source. A combination of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow dichroic filters are moved in front of the light to subtract out colors in order to mix the color you want. (Seachanger adds a fourth "extreme Green" filter to extend the range of colors possible.)
Chaos is Born said:When it comes to both Graphics and Lighting i prefer RGB.
I find it interesting that you say this on account of the fact that in the graphics world, most printed graphics are created using some variation on the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) printing process. Many new printers now use 8 inks, two tones of each color. Printing from an RGB palette is quite difficult, yes in pigment color theory it works, but have you tried it recently? It is very hard to create shading when you start with saturate primary colors.
"RGB" is an additive process and requires multiple light sources (typically Red, Green, and Blue) which are mixed together to make white. However, RGB isn't the only additive combination used. Selador's LED instruments use this technique but actually have 7 different colors mixing to make white.

Dichroic. "Diachronic" refers to language. See kids, no one is immune or above reproach; see this thread: http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/question-day/8599-cb-tech-form-english-class.html. JD used the wrong word once and was never corrected, so now he is wrong every time. <lecture /off>...Diachronic filters used in subtractive mixing...

Ah, go tell Bill Gates! (I don't care if he retired!) I pre-type my posts into Word, and it auto-corrects it to Diachronic every time!
If you're a mac-ie, Safari does too. I think spell check is much more useful than auto-correct.You should add dichroic to the dictionary then. Or get Firefox. It does spell-check, but not auto-correct.
