that's a common question. I wonder if it would be difficult to see?

There's no brown either and no one complaints isn't that "racialist" ?
#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jan 11, 2011

and orange

I think Jan's argument is that Yellow would be difficult to see, like Sarah said.
I'd personally like gray. :)

I agree, there needs to be yellow! It's a primary colour!
#10: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Apr 1, 2012
But it isn't one of the three primary colors of light. Yellow, cyan, and magenta are the secondary colors of light. :)

GIVE US YELLOW! ;)

Naw man, I'm waiting on light sea foam green.
#13: Kathy McKenzie (xwordgal) on Mar 3, 2021
has anyone looked at the code?
If it is array-driven, it seems like adding colors should be easy.
But given that Jan did not add any, maybe not.

You will just have to learn to enjoy unripe bananas

I will never be able to draw that metallic mint green 1964 Buick Skylark. :(

I've done several afterimage puzzles, and you can get a nice cyan, as the afterimage of red. Perhaps the best example is in #31473

Also, yellow is the afterimage of blue (and magenta from green)
