A rare perfect score! (due to a rare lucky guess on the American presidents question)

Hey Tightrope editors! Maybe look up words before using them.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color

Sets of color space primaries are generally arbitrary, in the sense that there is no one set of primaries that can be considered the canonical set. Primary pigments or light sources are selected for a given application on the basis of subjective preferences as well as practical factors such as cost, stability, availability etc.

Yeah, that was straight up wrong (I get a little fired up about color theory)

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They should have specified pigments or light.

However, when you look at it from the perspective of the first things we teach kids about colors, green is a mixture of the primary colors yellow and blue.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I knew this would go badly when I saw Green and Yellow in the list of options.

I guess I am too far removed from that early education approach. My mind went to HTML colors first, where we convey colors with R and G and B values.

As someone with more RGB things in my house than one should admit to, I can see where the confusion comes in.
