We chose to make light orange. According to the RGB system, using the color triangle, it is called (.75, .2, .05). We can also conclude that light orange has a greater saturation and hue of red than green and blue. Using the saturation method, we subtracted .2 from each RGB value and got (.55, 0, .15). By figuring out the color position, we looked at the fraction of the red and greens light orange has; .75R and .2G. In order to find out the fraction of blue, we used the equation 1 = r+ g +b because the fractions of red, green and blue equal to one (Gilbert 103). We substituted in r and g and got b by itself; in order to get b by itself, we subtracted r and g from both sides resulting in b = 1 - r -g. The fraction of blue is .05. Next we calculated the

The most intense color for making light orange is yellow. Our ratio of yellow to red to make light orange is 4:1. If we wanted a darker color of orange we would have more red filters but our color was light so to get the right color we continued to add yellow filters until we got light orange. Also, because blue is the commentary color for yellow we can look at the adding of yellow filters as taking out more of the blue color because we are doing subtractive mixing. With four yellow filters we are taking out four times as much blue.
Initially we referenced the color wheel circle and shined one yellow and one red Maglite together using the additive theory; the color turned out white. The additive theory is when two or more light colors are shined together to produce another color (Gilbert 100). Because the color was coming out too white we retracted and tried using the subtractive theory. The subtractive theory is when a color is filtered out from white light resulting in displaying the remaining colors (Gilbert 118). We used one yellow and one red gel subtractively with a Maglite;
