Original CMY Cube

The Original CMY Cube is an innovative color mixing and educational tool designed to demonstrate the principles of color theory using the subtractive color model. This cube is constructed from transparent colored panels of cyan, magenta, and yellow, which are the primary colors in the subtractive color model. When light passes through the different panels, the cube visually demonstrates how these primary colors mix to create secondary colors: red, green, and blue, as well as black when all three colors overlap.

The CMY Cube is a tangible way to explore and understand the interactions of colors in various lighting conditions and angles. It’s popular in both educational settings and among artists and designers for its ability to clearly illustrate the principles of subtractive color mixing, offering a hands-on experience that enhances the learning of color dynamics.
