An Interactive Color Mixing Graphic by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Makes it Easier for Everyone to Understand Pigment and Light Mixing

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry has an interactive color mixing activity on it's website. Within the interactive, you have the option to either work with colored light or colored ink. The interactive also gives the user the ability to challenge themselves by finding the correct color combination to match a specific color given to them. In addition, it provides the user with a second visual, which shows how the same color could look different with different colored backgrounds.

The interactive provides a great visual for not only young children looking to learn more about color mixing, but also educators, searching for the best way to present color mixing to their students. Even well established paining artist's can use the interactive to improve their color mixing efficiency. It is very easy to manipulate the amount of each color you would like to mix and it clearly shows you the results. The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry also provides many other interactive graphics dealing with a variety of other topics.
