Color synthesis can be tricky. When you try to combine additive and subtractive color mixing you can create very interesting pictures, on the other hand you will face some strange effects. Additive color comes from the flash lights with red + blue filters and will hit a surface where they reflected / absorbed in a subtractive way. First try was with a yellow suit but that looked very strange because the lighting is missing that spectrum. Then I tried a white suit but that looked strange too. The white walls become purple with a nice soft fade from blue to red. On the white suit it was just a mess of strange color. There will be no "white" with this two colors. The black suit looks much better, still it has a strange but attractive look. Well, it was a nice experiment.

Comments appreciated!
