This last week we learned about colours, which, I actually now find fascinating. Who knew that there were additive and subractive colours?
Subractive = the colours we normally see. For example, an apple appears red because the only colour it reflects is red.
Additive = Colours that are literally projected from a computer screen. The colour projected from a program is the colour that we see.
Also in that realm, the RBG colour model is used for computers/technology, and the RYB colour model is what is used for artists and normal people. In other words, the RYB is what we have been learning since pre-school, when in actuality, there exists more than one correct colour model...AND SANTA ISN'T REAL!

I was confused when I realized that THE primary colors from kindergarden weren't the only primary colors. But it's cool that you can use whatever set of colors that you need to, I definently didn't know that before!
The key question, however, still remains: how does one truly know that red is red or blue is blue?
