Spectral analysis

Colin asked me "how do you make yellow?"

I said that you don't make yellow. It is a primary color.

"But how do you make it?"

You can't mix other colors to get yellow; yellow is just yellow. A primary color.

"You can make yellow. God made yellow."

Well, yes. OK, God made yellow.

Colin warms to his subject now...

"God made the primary colors. Then he sent his disciples out to make the secondary colors. There were ten hundred and ninety-nine of them."

Colors or disciples?

"Disciples. And the last disciple was Peter. He mixed all the colors up together. After that, God was in charge of the colors."
