The Magenta Conspiracy

 

I linked to this a year ago, but here we go again. An entertaining take on "color theory". 

Apparently, the colors blue, yellow and red aren´t the primary colors. It´s cyan, magenta and yellow! Except for the perhaps salient fact that magenta doesn´t really exist?! The real secondary colors are blue, red and green... 

Ooookay...

You´ve been lied to, citizen. Time to riot in the streets or something. 

It´s all a lie

 

Everything is an illusion created by the Illuminati, apparently. Or at least by a bad public school system! Note the weird fact that magenta is a primary color, and yet don´t have a wavelength of its own "out there" in the visible light. 

Not sure if I understand any of this. I mean, aren´t colors supposed to be Platonic forms gently suspended from the cosmic canopy, or something?
