    Black is supposedly the absense of colors, and white is the presence of all colors.

    Red, blue and yellow is a MYTH. No such thing! No. Such. Thing. And those who believe so belong to the same club as... As... King Bahamut and TasteyPies and Bert. Do you really want that?

    Guu and del were about spot on. Typically our eyes process color in RGB (red green and blue). But if you take color theory you learn that colors are different to everyone by some degree as our brain processes it as a reflection of light (thus why in a pitch black room a red plate wont glow red ((unless its a glow in the dark plate))). Printing inks on the other hand work with shades and various combinations of CMYK (C=Cyan-Blue, M=Magenta-Red, Y=Yellow,K=Black). By layering these 4 colors you can create and color (in fact if you have photoshop you can scan any picture you own and use color seperation to see what % of each color makes up that picture)

    Depends.

    Right... if we're talking light addition, then it's a FACT that red, blue and green make up all the colours and combined at maximum intensity make white.

    If colour subtraction is your game, then it's cyan, yellow, magenta that make up all the other colours. I don't think there's any real debate here as anyone who's used a half decent graphics package or paid really good attention to their TV/printer will be aware of what the deal is.

    Eh...You've got a good point. Yet why don't you include Proto in there?

    RGB can only get so many colours. However the way to go is Red, Yellow, and Blue.

    Forrest Green, Navy Blue, Red and yellow are the primary colors. why? because those're the colors of my clan's tartan. Green and Blue Underchecks with Red and yellow Overcheck. yep. thems the most important primary colors. call me a cop-out if ya wants since I chose all the availible options. Call me a dummy for not talkin about the subject on hand.

    or, consider that with paint, red/blue/yellow are mixed for all the colors. with light on a monito, red/blue/green. so everybody's right except Burtsplurt who's just silly.
