Incoming... Is Green a Primary Colour?

Is Green a Primary Colour?

Yes, green is a primary colour. In science the primary colours are red, green and blue. Primary colours are sets of colours that can be combined to make a useful range of colours. The combination of any two primary colours creates a secondary colour.



Whoop, whoop...

Hey guys... Thank you all for your kind words. She's here - and stunning.

I've wanted this piece for a very long time. Then a few months ago I tried her on and there was no singing. I thought it was over. But then I saw her a few more times. And the lust rekindled. And when I was in Dubai last month, I tried her on again, and wow, did she sing! I had to have it - and I couldn't be happier.

I really think the Milgauss GV is a work of art. It's true to its predecessor with a modern touch. The piece is easily dressed up or dressed down - and damn unique. The green crystal is absolutely stunning - along with that orange second-hand lightning bolt. How cool.

Going to size this beauty now and will post some wrist shots soon.

Thank you, DavidSW. You're the best in this business. The trust you extend to your customers is amazing along with outstanding service. Even the little things, like setting the time for the customer's time zone - nicely done, Sir.

Incoming... Is Green a Primary Colour?

Nice call. I love mine. But, I'd say it's a bold move ahead of the blue GV release.

Green is a primary color of light. Hence the science = Milgauss. ;-)

The human eye is sensitive to a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation that lies in the wavelength range between 400 and 700 nanometers, commonly known as the visible light spectrum, which is the only source of color. When combined, all of the wavelengths present in visible light, about a third of the total spectral distribution that successfully passes through the Earth's atmosphere, form colorless white light that can be refracted and dispersed into its component colors by means of a prism. The colors red, green, and blue are classically considered the primary colors because they are fundamental to human vision. Light is perceived as white by humans when all three cone cell types are simultaneously stimulated by equal amounts of red, green, and blue light.

Love that watch, thank you for the congrats.

Not sure if there are any super heros in my watch forecast... but you never know.
