I’m probably going to get yelled at for this.

Violence solves everything. That's why there are "wars".

Except for the "war" on drugs, poverty, etc., ad nauseum.

In the past I have told some people to march through Free Derry wearing orange, waving a Union Jack, and saying naughty things about Bernadette Devlin.

The war on some drugs is fought to keep the drugs flowing, and restrict competition so that it is profitable.

The war on Poverty forgot to measure poverty AFTER the aid was provided, to assure that poverty pimps would retain cushy government jobs and restrict the use of proven means (like working) to end poverty.

Red, yellow, blue are the primary colours of pigment. The secondary colours are the pairwise combination of the primaries. On the so-called 'color wheel', a primary colour and the secondary colour opposite are called "complementary colours", thus, orange with blue, yellow with violet and red with green. Sorry, but the 'opposite' of yellow is violet (combo of red + blue), not blue (blue is primary, right?).

The combinations for coloured light are different, and the concept of "complementary" in light is considerably different.

In the UK (can't speak for the US), blue + green pigment yield a colour called cyan, considerably darker than typical turquoise. Same name for blue + green light, cyan, but somewhat lighter than pigmentary turquoise. I can't vouch for what these colours may be called in the US (the pigment, I should think, would be called blue-green, somewhat a la the crayon colour...but I'm guessing).

You might Google "complementary colours" (or no 'u', ahem) to learn quite a bit about the relations and combinations of pigment, and perhaps about light as well.

The opposite ("complement" is the term of art) of orange is blue, in pigment. Pls see also post #46 in this thread.

I was going with RGB light not YMC pigments.

I further abstracted it to perceived colors, as in red-green are a color receptor pair, as are blue-yellow. (Based on the flavors of color blindness). IOW, I pretty much made if up as I was going along...

Besides, I’m a guy. We can only name 5 colors...

With respect, null old boy, the primaries in LIGHT are, as you note, R G and B and there is no colour receptor pair blue-yellow. There is indeed blue-green, a flavour of colour blindness of which I'm quite aware: I have it to what the docs call a 'degraded' extent. Never been really sure what that means, but there are a couple of shades of blue and quite a few shades of green that I simply cannot distinguish.

In RGB colour schemas, yellow light is a combination of equal intensities of 'pure' (haha) red light + green light.

And, fwiw, I'm not making it up as I go along. Mixing inks in my father's press room as a boy and assisting in the R&D of the old Diamond monitors for 2 1/2 yrs have given me quite a fair background in the subject.

Yep. No yellow receptor, but there is a blue-yellow flavor of color blindness.

How conspiratorial of you.

I would be interested in knowing how you arrived at these conclusions.

Certainly poverty is measured by the government without counting government aid, so people who are poor enough for aid are still poor enough to count as poor after they receive aid.

That ensures that there is constant agitation to provide government aid. After 40 years, that obvious error has not been corrected, so it becomes reasonable to think it intentional. My cousin the social worker reported that California social workers have a case load quota, and if they move people off welfare, their case is dropped. If they drop below the magic number, the social worker is moved to part time status. That has the effect of discouraging any program that would move people off the welfare roles. Welfare Reform (pre-Obama) was intended to end that set of perverse incentives, but Obama has in unconstitutionally changed that back.
