Spatial additive mixing occurs when

  • A.small coloured elements are too fine to resolve individually
  • B.two coloured lights are superimposed upon the very same surface
  • C.coloured lights are flashed in rapid alternation
  • D.two colourants are physically stirred together

Answer: A

Correct answer: small coloured elements are too fine to resolve individually

When the elements fall below the eye’s resolving power their light is integrated on the retina and adds, so the effect is additive even though the elements are printed inks. Halftone printing, a display’s subpixels and pointillist painting all work this way, and all three revert to visible separate colours at close range.
