Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics & You - Primary Subtractive Colors covers the same topic as Optical Microscopy Primer: Primary Additive Colors
relation created by Caroline Hall

A companion Java simulation on the primary additive colors of light: red, green and blue (RGB).  The applet shows what happens when you mix RGB in pairs -- the complementary colors are produced.  Combine all three and white light is the result. The format of this simulation is the same; both are appropriate for grades 6-12.
