State whether the following is true or false.
The chromaticity of a mixture of two colourants lies on a straight line between them.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

Colourant mixing is subtractive and multiplicative, so the mixture’s chromaticity generally follows a curved path that bows towards the neutral point. This is why mixing two saturated paints gives something duller than either, and it is the fundamental difference from the additive case, where the path is straight.
