The three most powerfull colours in the universe the primary colours of splitted light.

This poll is about the symbolisme of each of these colours.

RED is the colour for the Flash, for Netflix, it tells cars to stop, it is the colour of garbage for unresycled general waste. The colour of anger, love, ire and passion
Red is the colour of socialist politics and Red is the colour of culture.

BLUE is the colour for Superman, the colour of (no apps i use actualy), it is the colour of sirens. The colour for hope, wisdom, freedom and strange. It is the colour for the earth, for plastic resyceling. It is the colour fof conservative politics and the colour for structure.

GREEN is the colour for Green Lantern, for Spotify, it is the colour for cars to drive. The colour for will, envy, genesis and fruitfullness. The colour for food waste resyceling. It is the colour for ecology and enviromental politics and the colour for nature.

......Everton....... I've been stuck with Royal Blue since the 60s..... For my sins! Some great rock songs with Red in the title, though!

Odd that green is considered a primary color, it's the blend of blue and yellow.   Also, in the US blue is for liberal politics (dems) and red is for conservative (reps).

From wiki

Elementary art education materials,[4]dictionaries,[5][6] and electronic search engines[7] often define primary colors effectively as conceptual colors (generally red, yellow, and blue; or red, green, and blue) that can be used to mix "all" other colors and often go further and suggest that these conceptual colors correspond to specific hues and precise wavelengths.

I know green is considered primary, but by spectral definition it cannot be.   Green light (or green hue as reflected light) must be a blend of yellow and blue light.

Putting my Physics teacher's hat on, Red, Blue and Green are indeed the primary colours of light. Our eyes (the cones in the retina) detect these wavelengths of the visible spectrum and the brain produces all the other colours from these three - based on their intensity/sensitivity. Light reflected or emitted from surfaces (essentially material-based, such as the concept of paints and pigments) - do not work on light addition (where all three colours produce white light), but subtraction (these three colours in pigment produce black = no light emitted). In this case the primary colours are yellow, cyan and magenta (as our printer cartridges testify too).

... of course, all emitted light are made of photons of wavelength/frequency corresponding to energy level transitions as excited electrons de-excite, based on E = hf, where..........😴😴😴😴😴😴😴💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤 (continued page 69)

^ That makes sense, I figured it would be a play of optics & light.   Color is a fascinating physic, without light it doesn't exist.   Not many things you can say that about  LOL .

was it Newton or Goethe whom paved lost of what we understand regarding the sense, describtion and science behind colours, Newton did so with hes prisme experimeng and Goethe wrote a book on teaching about colours

Newton and GoetheEdit

"The essential difference between Goethe’s theory of colour and the theory which has prevailed in science (despite all modifications) since Newton’s day, lies in this: While the theory of Newton and his successors was based on excluding the colour-seeing faculty of the eye, Goethe founded his theory on the eye’s experience of colour."[28]

"The renouncing of life and immediacy, which was the premise for the progress of natural science since Newton, formed the real basis for the bitter struggle which Goethe waged against the physical optics of Newton. It would be superficial to dismiss this struggle as unimportant: there is much significance in one of the most outstanding men directing all his efforts to fighting against the development of Newtonian optics." (Werner Heisenberg, during a speech celebrating Goethe's birthday)[29]

Due to their different approaches to a common subject, many misunderstandings have arisen between Newton's mathematical understanding of optics, and Goethe's experiential approach.[30]

Because Newton understands white light to be composed of individual colours, and Goethe sees colour arising from the interaction of light and dark, they come to different conclusions on the question: is the optical spectrum a primary or a compound phenomenon?

For Newton, the prism is immaterial to the existence of colour, as all the colours already exist in white light, and the prism merely fans them out according to their refrangibility. Goethe sought to show that, as a turbid medium, the prism was an integral factor in the arising of colour.

Whereas Newton narrowed the beam of light in order to isolate the phenomenon, Goethe observed that with a wider aperture, there was no spectrum. He saw only reddish-yellow edges and blue-cyan edges with white between them, and the spectrum arose only where these edges came close enough to overlap. For him, the spectrum could be explained by the simpler phenomena of colour arising from the interaction of light and dark edges.

Interestingly, Newton actually thought light was made up of 'particles' called corpuscules, while Huygens and others saw it as waves, and it was later that Einstein showed the quantised wave-particle dual nature of light through the photoelectric effect......

.....however, more importantly, Hawkwind got it completely wrong about Einstein never having a girl and having a yellow moustache - so what the hell do we proggers know about anything!

Woody Allen made an important contribution to the theory of light, though....."Photons have mass? I didn't know they were Catholic!"

Hi,

Hahahaha

I immediately thought of ... BLUE ... WHITE ... RED ... the film trilogy. 

Btw ... fun question ... when you mix the 3 colors with paints, what do you get? When you mix the 3 colors with lights, what do you get?

With paint, black. With light, white.

I also immediately thought of Kieslowski's Three Colouts trilogy. It's a shame he didn't do Green as well starring Kermit the Frog. Liberty, equality, fraternity and frogginess. Though knowing him, green would more likely represent envy or greed. It's not easy being green....

Favorite color I'm guessing , unless there are some prog bands with color names I'm aware of.
 Went with blue.  (I kind of like teal but that's not on the list)

I agree, I absolutely love Red. I wrote a substantial paper on themes in the trilogy while in university, which did kill my enjoyment for the trilogy for a while (I wasn't asked to choose Three Colours). Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou and a   host of other directors had a major impact on me, but those two were two that made me choose a career path that never worked out as it happened. And I adore his Dekalog. If people into Kieslowski aren't familiar with Agnieszka Holland, I would recommend Olivier, Olivier and Europa Europa.

"Red" should be associated with erotic too, not just love.

As much as I am an erotic person my vote goes to "Green" though.

I would have liked if "Cyan" (white light without the red component), "Magenta" (white light without the green component) and "Yellow" (white light without the blue component) would have been in the race too.

I always told my students (and daughters) that "I would miss any color taken away from the rainbow." In private, however, I secretly have alway harbored a preference for all things green. Whenever I have left my Great Lakes area homes, I have really missed the greens we have here.
