Breaking up white light into its colors is called

a tertiary hue
If a small amount of blue is a mixed into a large amount of orange, the resulting mixture is classified as
reflects almost all colors found in sunlight
If an object is identified as white, it

If one hue in a complementary color scheme is orange, the remaining hue would be
white

Pigmentary hues are measured in terms of their value, intensity, and
tint of red
Red to which white has been added is a
