Spectral Color - Non-spectral Colors

Non-spectral Colors

Among some of the colors that are not spectral colors are:

• Grayscale (achromatic) colors, such as white, gray, and black
• Any color obtained by mixing a gray-scale color and yet another color (either spectral one or not spectral), such as pink, which is a mixture of a reddish color and white.
• Purple colors, which in color theory also include magenta colors, rose colors, and other colors on the line of purples, which are various mixtures of violet and red light.
