the cyan of this inner rectangle is blue and green turned on full, and red turned right off  (aqua cyan  #00FFFF  in fact)


in actual fact i don't use this colour, but use the lighter blue as per the background in the next section below !

  it is well worthwhile to understand colour (english spelling!)   wheels   which can be fun !


  a hue and saturation colour  chart


  white  (#FFFFFF) naturally contains  blue  (#0000FF) !


  “cool”  i.e. whiter (6000ºK and above) fluorescent lights have much more blue in compared to “warm” (4000ºK and below)


  overcast days have a surprisingly high colour temperature of about 6500ºK


  halogens have a slightly higher colour temperature of 3000ºK compared to the standard incandescent bulb at 2700ºK







  for the background in my text editor (editpad pro) and desktop i use this lighter blue (#A4F6FF hex or red=164, green = 246, blue = 255 decimal)


  this would seem to give maximum energies in the useful pRGC stimulating wavelengths without any unnecessary reds


  the pRGC are retinal cells in the eye that set the circadian clock


  of course  red can be used the other way, to simulate being in  darkness  !
