On Pink



1) Pink does not require everything in the EM spectrum minus green combined.  I could still enter a vicinity where radio waves are blocked, turn on a flashlight and see a pink object.

2) Pink is not anything in the EM spectrum that isn't green.  If that were the case, UV light in the dark would appear pink.

3) Pink is not everything in the EM spectrum outside the colour spectrum combined.  If that were the case, we would be able to see pink when the lights were off, but when everything else in the EM spectrum was present.

4) Pink is not anything in the EM spectrum outside the colour spectrum.  If that were the case, when I turn off the lights and look at my hand, the heat from my hand would register as pink.

5) Pink is just white and magenta.  Just take white light and decrease the amount of green light, but not all the way and you get pink.  Magenta is white light when you take out all the green.

Clockwise: Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow

6) Perhaps if Heimdallr and Heimdallr beetle PT spent more time on real science and less time fantasizing about their own grandfathers, there'd be less confusion on the issue.3
