I find it amusing that providing a clear technical definition on any issue is regarded as a red herring. Attempting to eradicate anothers ignorance of mis-understanding is a red herring. Such an attitude may well explain why I read so many posts with really dumb logic.

And I would not call the numeric represention of luminance for the red green and blue chrominance of the color orange as computer codes. Computer codes are numbers and the computer has no concept of color. Six hexadecimal representation is simply a way to define the color orange to a shade of 1 in 2 to the 24th shades. And it defines in a way that is easy to reproduce.

I believe more than a couple of decades ago the Xwindow system used on many unix and linux systems defined a file usually named rgb.txt the listed colors and the equivalent luminance in red green and blue crominence. This was done as color displays and color lcd displays contained only red, green and blue phosphors and leds. The original definition of rgb.txt colors came from accepted definitions of these colors when compared to calibrated displays.

And any who have flat panels and wish to verify every pixel is perfect are welcome to use my free six_color_pixel_test.exe
acute.ath.cx

Gee I wonder where or where is rgb.txt on my computer acute.
