Control interface for converting subtractive color input to additive primary color output

A system for controlling the color output of a product, the system comprising:

• a selector circuit providing a selection of colors from a first spectrum of colors comprising the colors red, yellow, and blue;
• a light array in a neutral state, wherein the light array is configured to display colors derived from a second spectrum of colors when placed in an activated state;
• and
• a controller circuit that configures the light array to display a color that reflects a mixing of one or more colors selected from the first spectrum of colors.

A method of interfacing a color selector to a light array, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a first color selection from a palette containing an option of red, yellow, or blue color input;
• determining whether the first color selection is red, yellow, or blue;
• generating the relative intensity values of a light array comprising a red light element, a blue light element, and a green light element in order to produce the first selected color on the light array, the first selected color producing a red light value, a blue light value, and a green light value, the light values corresponding to relative intensities of the light elements;
• receiving a second color selection from the palette;
• altering the relative light values of the light array to add the color component corresponding to the second color selection for display on the light array.
