On the screen of a color television or computer, white is produced by mixing the primary colors of light: red, green and blue at full intensity, a process called additive mixing (see image above).

Another practice when darkening a color is to use its opposite, or complementary, color (e.g. purplish-red added to yellowish-green) to neutralize it without a shift in hue and darken it if the additive color is darker than the parent color.
