The point is that the "light" involved may not may very well to "r", "g", and "b". > I assumed rgb(0,0,0) would be a black that at least as dark as any gamut could approximate. Sure. The question is what rgb(-10, 255, 255) is. You seemed to assume that you can't take away any red from a combination of "green" and and "blue", but the fact is that these are exactly orthogonal to each other in any meaningful way, so you can. As long as you're not using display hardware that maps these abstract coordinates to nonnegative physical quantities like light intensity, of course. -Boris
