<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3248938, member: 71723&quot;]Brief version - traditional color photography, ALL OF IT, is based on three primary colors - cyan, magenta, yellow. No green, no blue, no red. No anything else. Theoretically, it would be nice if those three layers were independent of one another, but they are not. The primaries pop in traditional photography and other colors are compromises. Green is possible, but basically, it was hard to get it rendered well on film. Green is cyan plus yellow, but the yellow in most films was far from optimal. Same with orange, reds, purples. That, I believe, led to bad photographs of greens on coins circulating around.</p><p><br /></p><p>By contrast, digital photography uses the additive primaries - red, blue, green. The predominant color pallete is just different now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Readers Digest condensed version.</p><p><br /></p><p>One edit. Late in the film era, Fuji experimented with a four color system. It was a technical breakthrough but the extra cost doomed it. You can see it in those negatives. They are just darker than three layer films.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
