  Woah that color wheel… You can see the cyan, magenta, yellow light reflecting but red, green, blue light passing through to the table, respectively. Such a great example of complementary primaries

    I’m so happy you noticed, the colors cannot be reproduced in a digital photo, when it shines in the sun it’s so beautiful!

  What’s the 4th color on the wheel used for? White minus white… black, yes. But why?

    There is no way that the pictures I’ve snapped can produce the colors accurately. When I look at that small section, it reflects forest green light back to my eye. The light that passes through seems to be muddy yellowish

      I tried to find something on the internets. It says something about additional colors and reducing color flickering. 🤷‍♀️

        My assumption was it had something to do with luminosity, but I’m at the end of my technical expertise for this implementation of insane technology lol
