    1. Color TV implies “full color”, black and white are only two colors of many.

    2. Towels collect skin cells and get wet when used, which can enable the growth of mold if not dried quickly enough.

    3. Depends on how many of the nurse’s clients become the husband’s clients.

    I used the calculator to write “5318008” so it looks like it says “BOOBIES” upside-down.

    Do I pass?

        On the other hand, the nurse has potential for returning clientele. The husband does not. She can keep getting paid the longer her customers need her services over their lifespan, so it’s more a question of short term profits over long term sustainability.

        Oh who am I kidding? This is capitalism we’re talking about, they’ll always choose short term profits.

      isn’t there a difference between pigment/light and how it is interperted?. Like isn’t black the absent of color. White is all the bands of light at once while pigment black is all the colors at once but yet it is not the blackest of all blacks so they don’t even make black that way.

        Yeah, additive vs subtractive color. Our eyes see light but light is reflected by pigment.

        Pigment determines which colors are subtracted from light, so combining all pigments gives you black (little to no light reflected) (edit: this is also somewhat of a simplification, it can be more complicated than that). But combining different colors of light gives you white, if nothing is being absorbed.

        Now whether the absence of color still counts as a color in and of itself in either system, I would still argue yes. Color is just our perception of light frequencies or lack thereof, so it’s all subjective anyways.

          To further this, this is why your monitor uses RGB, but printers use CMY (+K but technically you could get away with just CMY) Cyan absorbs red light, only reflecting red and green, magenta absorbs green light, only reflecting red and blue, and I’m sure you can guess what yellow absorbs. Your monitor on the other hand isn’t reflecting exterior light, it’s creating its own.
