Why Isn't RGB Real?

It's all about the Y axis, folks. The Y axis. You see, the Y axis is just a cruel joke.

Imagine you're a color theorist, pouring over your color wheel, trying to make sense of this supposed "RGB" thing.

Red, Green, Blue - sounds like a real system, right?

Nope. It's all just a ruse.

Really, it's all about the Y axis. And by "Y axis", I mean "Y is not actually in the mix".

It's just Red, Green, and Black. That's the real deal.
