    Linux Journal was interviewing a guy who’d worked on OS/2 at IBM…

    He said that we’ve got 2x the sensitivity to green as to red, & 2x the sensitivity to red as to blue.

    Basically, we’ve got 1-bit more sensitivity to green than to red, & 1-bit more sensitivity to red than to blue.


    I’ve read in linguistics stuff that tribes that have 2 words for color have 1 word which means bright & 1 word which means dark,

    tribes with 3 words have a word for blood-color, as well…

    green doesn’t seem to be as significant in the words-for-it department of tribal life, from what I’ve read.
