More like a sum of 2 primary colors. We can explore this with the RGB color space model. R G B 1 0 0 - red 0 1 0 - green 0 0 1 - blue 1 1 0 - yellow 0 1 1 - cyan 1 0 1 - magenta 1 1 1 - white 0 0 0 - black So you can see for instance that yellow is actually 2x as “bright” as red. In this model, white is 3x as bright as red. linkfedilink
