If it's truly RGB style, you'll want to cap all 3, not remove all 3. Removing all colours makes black. 255 of all colours makes white.

Crap, you're right. I had that backwards. x3

While he's right and RGB is typically associated with light spectrum, I think it's actually using pigment spectrum logic just because of the terminology of darkening and lightening. So darkening would take you towards black and lightening would take you towards white.

But RGB are light spectrum primaries, not pigment primaries. If it were pigment primaries, the three bases would be like the colors in your printer cartridges.

Im sry if im mistaken but i think you have this backwards. They absence of color is white. The mixture of all colors together should produce black. I could be wrong but from what i remember in art class haha...

You must have skipped the physics class, lol.

So, how to I set the colors to 0? I want a black chocobo. ._.

This is light colour theory... It's the other way around. If it were based on red blue and yellow it would work that way

Your wrong on the RGB scale but right on the CMYK. RGB is based on light so the less light you have the darker no light is black (Or at least how our eyes perceive it) CMYK would be inks (more in line with physical art) so the more you add the deeper the color but if you add everything you get black as it is the deepest (Most absorbing of light). The running assumption is RGB scale for the choco which is why the semantic of lighten and deepen are part of the argument because it really changes how you look at the numerical value.

What you are remembering is perhaps the combos with paint.
However, our chocobo dyes is not based on that, but on the theory of Light itself, which is different from mixing with paint.
You understand that the Rainbow is from light right? That's because, light (white) is a combo of all the colors of the rainbow.
Thus white is actually all the colors combined, while Black is the lack of color.
