Thanks Rick, for straightening me out on this. :)
While David's note is clearly tongue in cheek, CYAN is defined in RGB color
systems as equal mixes of green and blue each at the same intensity.
FWIW
BTW, (besides commuting the "e" & "i" in the word "foreign") it seems I
left out a Greek letter in the parentheses below. I wrote:
.... I thought I would mention that^
according to the etymology listed in my dictionary for the entry on
"cyan", it seems that the word comes from the Greek "kyanos"
(kappa|upsilon|nu|omicron|sigma) whose meaning is/was 'dark blue'.
The spelled out spelling needs a missing alpha, vis,
(kappa|upsilon|alpha|nu|omicron|sigma).
