At Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates it says orange = red + yellow, not belonging on either of the 2 sections of this article. Can anyone modify this article to identify where it belongs?? 66.245.89.19 22:56, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Where it belongs? Not here. It's my mistake, or technically Three Rings' (the Y!PP creators) mistake. The game really does produce orange from red and yellow, although that's technically wrong. I'll make mention of it in the Y!PP article. Azure Haights 19:31, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

The primary colors are different in light and paint. If you mix red and yellow paint (dye, ink, etc.) you really will get orange, so the game isn't wrong, this article just isn't complete. See Color theory, [1], [2], or [3], the latter of which complicates things further by observing that "the number of 'primary' colors depends on the type of creature that is doing the looking". —Triskaideka 16:51, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Triskaideka, the article is a stub, and you say the article isn't complete, so why can't you just complete it yourself?? 66.245.13.73 00:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Same reason you can't, I imagine. I'm not well acquainted with the subject beyond what I said above, and I don't have the time to learn right now. I added a couple of sections based on what I wrote, but a thorough treatment of the subject will have to come from someone with a better scientific background in it. —Triskaideka 18:47, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch link

The link to the Dutch article does not look anything like this article translated. Can any Wikipedian who understands Dutch (I don't) please check to see the translation of the Dutch article and add it into here?? Georgia guy 00:46, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

And still, the Esperanto link looks different. Georgia guy 17:16, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'll insert the most relevant part of the Dutch article. Written by moi of course :o)--MWAK 14:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
