O.5(2) - SUBTRACTIVE COLOR MIXING

This device, designed to be used on an overhead projector, allows one to show how colors are obtained from the subtractive mixing of red-violet, blue-green, and yellow. Each glass filter is 5 cm in diameter, in each of the primary colors. The colored disks are projected on the screen and the mirrors can be adjusted until they coincide partially or completely.
