    They’re still rgb plus maybe yw using colour mixing, so depending on the quality, tuning, physics and our perceptionof light, not all colours are as nice or bright.

      Yeah. I just think being RgB it would be good at purple 😂 One of those situations where the name was probably not created based on logic lol

        It’s called RGB because there’s a red, green, and blue diode. Not sure how that’s not a logical name.
