      65,000 colors?

      ok so i see a lot of things that say they have a 65,000 color display but do they actally mean 65,000 different colors or shades of different colors

      so this is what we will do lets get a list of 65,000 different colors


      ill start with the normal ones
      red
      blue
      green
      black
      orange
      white
      yellow
      purple
      brown







      and for some reason i think the girls may do better at this

      wife: dear could you get me my yellow jacket?
      husband: yes its right here
      wife: that is not yellow that is canary
      you can't do that on the internet!.... wait yes you can do it again!

      0000000000000000
      0000000000000001
      0000000000000010
      0000000000000011
      ........
      ........
      ........
      1111111111111100
      1111111111111101
      1111111111111110
      1111111111111111

      ROYGBIV = The spectrum

      There are the primary colors - Red , Yellow & Blue
      Secondary colors = two primaries mixed together.
      Achromatic - I think lacking color like black White and maybe grey. Or grey maybe is considered neutral.
      uuug... I forget half the shit I learn.
      Then you have tone, shade, hue, tint, etc to derive all these other colors.
