These colors combined to make other colors.<\/li>\n<li>Pigments made of different materials. Some made of natural materials, such as plant extracts or minerals. Others made of synthetic materials, such as plastics or chemicals.<\/li>\n<li>Some pigments are transparent, which means that light can pass through them. however others are opaque, which means that light cannot pass through them.<\/li>\n<li>The color of a pigment depends on the wavelength of the light that passes through it. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light. This is why red pigments appear to be darker than blue pigments.<\/li>\n<li>Pigments used to create different colors.
