Color color everywhere

From the in class experiments I learned that mixing color light(additive color theory) works differently from mixing paints (subtractive color theory). The reason behind the colors mixing differently is because with pigment white light hits the color and all the colors in the white light are absorbed except for the color you see which is bouncing off the object back into your eyes. While in color light, the light is only producing that color light and when turned off you get black. I used one of the in class experiments at home, I took a drop of water and placed it on my computer screen where it was white. From there i could see the three primary colors for the additive color theory; blue, green, and red.
