Color of Shadows
(Ambient light is black)
- The color of a shadow is determined by the sum of all lights that
strike the area where the shadow falls.
- Where no light from a Spotlight or Omni light illuminates the area where a shadow falls, the color of
the Ambient light determines the color of
the shadow. To make the colors of the scene look especially deep, tint
the Ambient light's color slightly to be
the compliment of the dominant shadow-casting lights.
- Omni lights decreases the darkness of
any shadows they cast light on.
