#also ofc i'm hyped to have successfully worked out some additive color mixing in my head lol

okay i've answered my own question and i think i can say that the purple/pink that shows up when ember & wade's orange & blue mix, usually on wade when he's close enough to ember, IS additive color mixing!

i remembered that some physics site might have an interactive additive light toy, and:

turning down the green creates the orange (instead of yellow) and cerulean/azure (instead of cyan), and the combination of those colors Is a pinker/lighter magenta!

put that color against a screenshot:

it's the reflection of ember's light off wade: the brighter parts of her are yellow, and the brighter part of her reflection in him is an even brighter pink, closer to white, which lines up with the colors mixing additively, since yellow has more green light than orange, and this [combo of their colors] pink is the result of what would be white light with some of the green taken out. add it back in, and it's closer to white

i think it's really neat; love that for them

#added the site i used as the source....adjust your own RGB levels (on the site. or your device's display?) #the tragic combo of growing up w/a desktop where there was a little wheel attached to do just that that was REALLY fun to stim with #nonzero times as a child messing up the rgb display balance because of it lol....had an indentation; grooves; went clickclickclick #elemental #elemental 2023 #pixar elemental #wade ripple #ember lumen #also ofc i'm hyped to have successfully worked out some additive color mixing in my head lol #whom up refracting & reflecting (the latter applies here) (this color mixing is less relevant when wade Refracts her light i think) #(b/c that's different anyways lol....)
