Im always confused by RGB. I learned that if you want orange, you mix red and yellow. If you want green, you mix blue and yellow, if you want purple, you mix red and blue.

How is it that computers need green and not yellow?

Also how did the “o” from the word “color” in my title make its way to the end of the sentence? 😂

You moved an image in Microsoft word 3 years ago.

If you want to fix it, there should be an edit button behind the 3 dot menu under your post heading which will allow you to put that 'o' back where it belongs.
