Discouraging too is the rough, hasty feel of the album. The cover and interior art is just ugly, with a rather curious motif of the primary colors magenta, blue, and cyan. None of the photos are appealing to any degree; cheesecake fans will be sorely disappointed. Spears doesn’t even look happy to be at her photo shoot—her once youthful exuberance has metamorphosed into a tired repetition of midriff shots. The album’s music itself is less than forty minutes long over twelve tracks, and none of the songs has the strength...
From black-and-white, Close moved to color, but again in a system-dominated way. Color printing is done with three colors: cyan (a greenish blue), magenta (a purplish red) and yellow. Close took his photo, had color separations made, and then proceeded to render each square of the canvas with each of the colors, successively, exquisitely controlling the amount of each hue per pixel.

When she isn't dressed in such sweet nothings, Isabella minces around in one confining Chanel-type outfit after another (there's one striking scene when she literally drips with pearls). But as in "The Age of Innocence," the clothes in "Edward II"--and their occasional removal--are invested with too much responsibility. And where do they keep these...
...case you have wondered: magenta, cyan (blue), yellow and black are the basic printing "colors" that are combined to produce almost all other hues, hence the term four-color. Metallic glosses, such as gold, silver and copper, are called fifth colors...
...dyes used are subtractive colors, each of which transmits about two-thirds of white light. The yellow transmits the green and red components, blocking blue; magenta transmits red and blue; cyan transmits blue and green. When two of the colors overlap equally, they produce the color that is common to both. Cyan and magenta give blue; cyan and yellow give green; magenta and yellow give...
