Color based on ‘light’ and ‘pigment’ is differently experienced. In art and design both of them equally important and applied in appropriate places (Plates2&3). According to light-color three primary colors are Red, Green and Blue. On the other hand in pigment Red, Blue and Yellow are considered the primary colors because these primary colors cannot be created by mixing any color. The mixing of these colors creates vast number of colors which are known as hues.
