There are different kinds of colors: colors of emitted light, colors of=20
reflecting surfaces, and idealized color spaces. Among the human population=
,=20
there are at least three alleles of the red-seeing gene (normal, anomalous,=
=20
and blind), at least two of the green-seeing gene (ditto), and at least two=
=20
of the blue. It is thus possible for a woman to have five primary colors.=
=20
(Both red and green are on X, only one of which is expressed per cell.) And=
=20
I, a mutant of the red-seeing gene, sometimes see things I want to=20
call "gred" or "grellow". Then there's bicnukni. That's #FF00FF, where the=
=20
first byte is green and the third is ultraviolet. So #FF0000 is OK for=20
{ma'orxu'e}, as long as you remember that you're talking about a color spac=
e=20
and not a pure spectral line or paint.
