Color Shadows is just one of the exhibits where visitors can indeed make yellow by combining red and green. Red, blue and green lights are mixed to create white light.
Visitors can manipulate light mixtures to create mind-teasing results.
When yellow and green receptors in the eye are stimulated by a blend of red and green light or by yellow light, we see yellow. The Exploratorium is recognized internationally as the leader in the research and development of interactive science exhibits. Color, sound and music, waves and resonance and energy are the platforms for investigation discovery. In addition to Color Shadows, exhibits will include Visible Effects for the Invisible, Skillets, Cold Metal and dozens more. It is located in Balboa Park, just south of the San Diego Zoo, on Park Boulevard.
