Purple (magenta) is actually a pure negative color, one of the three that make up white.

So umm... Anyone see anything wrong with this story:

Tripping off a curb...

Right...

Come on man that's just how the United States operates. You should know that by now tongue

Sadly that story doesn't surprise me in the least.

I do not, now stop spreading lies. That's prince-dari, remember? Everyone knows I only eat Cynder fangirls.

No you don't.....you eat DDR maniacs.....

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Jun 04, 2011 2:11 PM

now, this is bugging me. purple is the combination of red and blue, no? and purple is a color. so if white is a combination of other colors, why isn't white a color then?

prince-Dari · Jun 04, 2011 3:29 PM

Oh come on Stormy, we still have the photographic proof that you eat cats. Remember? No point in lying to us. (:

RangerOfIthilien · Jun 04, 2011 4:14 PM

So says the guy who eats cats and owls!

Swaffy · Jun 04, 2011 5:08 PM

I eat cows.

Dark Fury Dragon · Jun 04, 2011 5:44 PM

I don't eat cows! It's against me religion.

LAWL, just kidding. I love meat, it's ridiculous. I don't think I'd survive without it.

Oh really? You also supposedly had photographic proof of the existence of Stormknight, but look how that turned out.

truth!

prince-Dari · Jun 04, 2011 7:50 PM

Lambda: Maybe I do, but there's no proof of that other than hearsay!

However there is proof that Stormy eats cat, come on, no one remembers that picture?
Don't even get me started on Stormknight.

Stormy · Jun 04, 2011 7:52 PM

I would just like to point out that the picture bmah posted is not me. I am not Asian, I do not have blue hair, and most importantly, I do not eat cats.

bmah · Jun 04, 2011 7:55 PM

It's ok. You needn't make a defense. We know you like them fried.

Stormy · Jun 04, 2011 7:56 PM

Dang it, now I have to edit my post so it makes sense. I hate when that happens.

Neotyguy40 · Jun 04, 2011 8:21 PM

I don't eat.

prince-Dari · Jun 04, 2011 8:27 PM

So what do you do? Photosynthesise? I knew it! Netoryguy is a plant for sure.

I don't know what photosynthesise is. But I bet that Netoryguy is a plant. That guy looked pretty green the last time I saw him.

Color can be defined a bunch of ways.

There are the negative colors; Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. When combined, these colors create black.
Then there are the positive colors; Red, Green, and Blue. When these combine, they are white.

However, that is only for a limited range of applications. Machines such as computers and biological systems such as our eyes use this system of colors.

But think of an artist. They don't usually combine Red, Green, and Blue. They combine Red, YELLOW, and Blue, which are the Primary Colors.
Orange, Green, and Magenta are considered secondary colors in this case.

However, the scientific way to look at it is the visible spectrum:

There is no white there, and likewise there is no black. Those are not considered colors in this sense. Black is considered a positive SHADE, and white is considered the negative shade. This is the scientific way to look at color.

JazzJackrabbit · Jun 04, 2011 9:03 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color
Red, blue and green are additive, and combinations of any two of these result in a subtractive color, magenta, cyan, and yellow. When two of these subtractive colors are mixed, they result in an additive color. Monitors use the additive system, while printers use the subtractive system.

The kind most are accustomed to is pigment color mixing. Neotyguy40 explained that, but the secondary colors are green, orange and violet, not magenta.

prince-Dari · Jun 05, 2011 12:51 AM

That typo of your name has just resulted in me calling you 'Neotreeguy' from now on. XD

Actually, violet is a spectral color. An equal amount of blue and red pigmentation would have to create an extra-spectral color like magenta. Otherwise the blue would actually be slightly closer to cyan, which would make a very unsaturated violet.

However, I thought about it again and realized you were right. It isn't magenta, so it has to be an artificial color. Probably purple.

I am not scientifically minded like you, but I do say that white is not a color.
But allow me to bring out a dictionary reference:

"dictionary.reference.com" says that color is:
the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the
object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and
brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue.

This explains that the question "Is white a color?" is really an opinion, or is
judged on a person's state of mind/mindset.

Stormy · Jun 05, 2011 3:53 AM

...I don't think that definition says anything about opinion. Where did you get that idea?

Swaffy · Jun 05, 2011 6:01 AM

I also said "or, blahblahblah." because I figured it is most likely not an
opinion. But to me, it seems like people's arguments about whether or not
White is a color is simply based off of what kind of perspective they have of
it (or in other words: what kind of background they have). Just like my link
says, an artist may see it as a color and a scientist may see it as not ...
hence my idea about it being an opinion. I don't think us humans have a
solid explanation for such an argument.

But ... I just found this. Wikipedia says that white is a color:
