I wrote a short story a while back but have to fix some parts before I submit it to a contest at my school. It's about painting...and I could have sworn that I read on a website that all colors mixed together form the color WHITE. But I'm proofreading the story and it just doesn't seem right. Is there such a thing where all colors mixed together form a certain color? If so, what is that color? It's very important that I find out.

It's true that the colors in a spectrum together form white... because a spectrum BREAKS DOWN white light into colors, so when the reverse happens, it's white.
However, if you just have a paint palette full of these colors and mix them together, you'll just get brown. |

I always got something between dark brown and almost black. My paint book referred to it as mud. The caution was to NOT mix too many different colors together.

the presence of all colors creates black. the abscence of all colors creates white.

light = white
pigment = black Theoretically, of course. In reality, you get something muddy. |

When you mix all the colors you get black.
If you mix some you occasionally get brown or grey. Depends how much paint or color pencils, etc. you use. |

Here is something that will solve your confusion. In the light spectrum the presence of all the colors will give you white, like if all the colors are reflecting at you and the absence of all color is black like a black hole or deep space.
However when you actually are mixing paints in painting, mixing all the pigments together will give you black or close to it. So I hope that solves your confusion on this, one is talking about painting while the other is addressing the visual light spectrum. |

I believe all the colors of the spectrum blended together makes white.
Good Luck! |

If you are mixing all colors of light, you get white
If you are mixing all colors of pigments, you get a very dark color |

It could be either black or white depending upon which color system you are using in the Neutonian system of color.
If you are using the "substractive" system (CMYK as primary), the answer would be black as you would be laying down or adding pigments to a substrate (usually white paper) and allowing only the reflective color to pass through that layer. As each layer of primary pigment is added, more of the primary color would be removed from the reflected area blocking the complementary color from the proceeding color. This is the system most used in printing. If you are using the "additive" system, the answer would be "white" as you would be starting with black, and projecting the three primary colors (RGB), through three different projection sources. where they all overlap you would get white. This is how televisions and monitors work. The color wheel is the best visual way to look at both systems. To make it even more confusing, there is the "Land" system, that presents color in a whole different paradigm. But that is too technical to describe here. |

If it's light, they form white, but pigments work the opposite way, so they all form black.
