This is a Java applet that allows users to mix three light sources to get additive color mixing. RGB values are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

This item is part of a larger collection of Java applets on the topic of light and color perception.

This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.

Topic: Nature and Behavior of Light
Unit Title: Visible Light and Color

Interactive Java Applet Grades 9-12
Understanding the RGB color model helps students understand how the mixing is done to produce the colors we see on electronic displays. In this Java applet, students play around with simulated light sources to mix the three additive colors of light (red, green, and blue). **NOTE: Scaffolding is recommended, as there is no text explanation with the applet. We suggest this tutorial for extra support:
