Cyan/Magenta/Yellow – the three secondary (additive) colors of light which are used in moving lights color mixing. Some cheaper systems use three graduated color scrolls(one of each color) in front of a standard fixture, but these take a massive amount of intensity out of the beam, resulting in a dim light on stage. Many moving lights use a similiar system with dichroic colors which are more efficient and longer-lasting.
