Gracie: I'm mixing red and yellow to get green. Nora: I mix red and yellow to make orange. Gracie: Not me. I mix red and yellow to get green. Gracie: But, for some reason, I keep getting orange.
Green and yellow are opposites on the light color wheel (or ask any TV engineer - yellow and green are 180 degrees opposite). Mixing pigments are subtractive, though, not additive. I think it’s blue and red, but don’t quote me…
Green and yellow are not opposites on the light color wheel. They are right next to each other in both color wheels. Also, green is a primary color in the light color wheel, so there is no way to mix colors to get green in the light color wheel. Gracie just marches to the beat of her own drummer.
Okay, now I do know about mixing paints. Mixing colored lights, not so much, so I don’t know how those work exactly.
But when it comes to paint…
Primary colors are: Red, yellow & blue
Secondary colors are: Orange, green & purple(or violet).
Opposite pairs: Red & green, yellow & purple, blue & orange.
White & Black are tints.
For heaven’s sake! I am NOT Joe Doty! I’ve been here for months, and not just since he disappeared. I’ve even been attacked by the man. I am a straight FEMALE even.
Just because I am known by my family as a “Font of Useless Knowledge” doesn’t mean that I am suddenly a gay man from Tulsa.

Insanity as defined by Albert Einstein is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
There is a fine line between genius and insanity.
