Which two colors combined produce magenta light?

• A. Red and Green
• B. Blue and Green
• C. Red and Blue
• D. Cyan and Yellow

Answer: (C)

Magenta is produced by mixing red and blue light. In additive color mixing, the primary colors of light are red, green, and blue. Red plus green makes yellow, red plus blue makes magenta, and blue plus green makes cyan. So the two colors that create magenta are red and blue. The other combinations do not produce magenta.
