Step in front of this wall, and you’ll make shadows of three different colors—yellow, magenta, and cyan. All three of your shadows will wiggle, jump, and dance along with you. And you can explore how the overlapping colors combine in an unexpected patchwork of black, white, red, green, and blue.

How can three colored lights make so many different hues? Try our Snack version of Colored Shadows, and see for yourself.
