<p>Not only that but once you pick green or blue it's going to skew your results in that direction. I got a higher level of blue as my result but it's only because that's what I picked since I had to pick one of them.</p>

<p>Not everything you listed is the same.<p>> Is "pink" a different colour than (light) red?<p>No, it's a different word for it.<p>> Where does "white" end and "grey" begin?<p>When any amount of black is added to white.<p>> Where does "grey" end and "black" begin?<p>When the color is 100% black.<p>White and black are not the same as red, green, or blue. Tinting or shading a color with white or black does not change the color, it lightens or darkens it. That's not the same for RGB. Combining those results in other colors, regardless if a culture has a specific name for it.</p>
