How does it work?

Materials are different colours because they absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. A blue paddle appears blue because it is absorbing ALL the colours EXCEPT blue. It reflects blue light and appears blue.

You can make different colours by mixing transparent paddles. When primary colours are mixed, you make secondary colours. How many secondary colours can you make? How many tertiary colours will you discover?
