Light is a Reflected Illusion - A Metaphor - The Theory of Mixing Colour with Light - An Illustrated Poem

Blue and Green walk hand in hand; commonly known as the couple Cyan.

Madam Magenta is the mistress of Yellow they become Red’s fiery bed fellow.

Red and Cyan are blind to each other; for how they reflect they cancel and smother.

Yellow fights Blue like the sun - anew.

When Magenta slights Green, it is sometimes obscene.

When all is illuminated white light is seen.

• Each secondary colour cyan, green and red is a combination of two primary colours yellow, magenta and blue.
• Every primary colour is a combination of a secondary colour. Every colour is a part of another colour.
