In additive color mixture, n( 2 ≤ n ) colors are given then the color mixture result is determined uniquely. On the other hand, in subtractive color mixture, the result is not unique which are not clarified also in today. For the approach to the problem, we first derived theorems related to the upper and lower bounds of the subtractive color mixture. Second, using these theorems, theorems related to the centroid of the possible range of a stimulus value are derived. Because of the non-uniqueness of the results of subtractive color mixture, the centroid is very important. In this article, the discussions proceeds along a axis in the three dimensional( X,Y,Z ) space for simplicity.
