| | I vote to delete the alternate big/small interpretation, as I do not see it makes any sense or even make the joke funny. See both mine and others comments above as to why this is so. I will though not delete it my self yet. But have changed to indicate in the explanation why the alternate explanation has many flaws. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:41, 14 December 2015 (UTC) | | I vote to delete the alternate big/small interpretation, as I do not see it makes any sense or even make the joke funny.

| − | I want to visit the current description in the article that "Cyan is a greenish-blue"... It is ''literally'' green-blue. No '-ish' about it. #0FF in an #RGB triple-nibble hex format. If talking about it by visual impression, rather than by components, cyan doesn't ''look'' green at all. It just looks like light-blue. At least to your current author. Whilst I'm not diagnosed as colour-blind, I know that (for example) even normal male and female perceptions of colour can have different resolutions and impressions of various hues.

| − | And now some even more confusing datam-points, of an otherwise unrelated nature: in the default pallette my copy of OpenOffice uses (the handiest thing to check, outside of direct HTML encoding) the colour I could enumerate as #0FF (by sight alone... not having bothered to 'pipette' sample a screen grab of it in a graphics editor, to get exact values) is called "light cyan". I can't find non-light "cyan", but it'd probably be around #088 (that might be the value the one labelled "turqoise" has, which ''does'' seem to have a green-ish component, so might be more like #097ish), as #00F (pure blue, by my own assessment) is called "light blue" and the colour labelled "blue" (but that I'd call ''dark blue'') looks roughly #008-ish.

| − | I'm tempted to edit out all mention of 'base' or 'basic.' The comic and title text both only mention 'alkaline,' and what began as an unnecessary mention of that ~synonym now goes on to 'basic cars' v. special ones, none of which is in the comic nor needed to fully explain it.

| − | Isn't the joke just because adding the red to the cyan gives you white, the default colour for the comic? {{unsigned ip|162.158.91.193}}

| − | :I don't think that's the reasoning behind it. Red+Cyan=White because Red is the bits of white that aren't Cyan, i.e. the opposite, which ''is'' the joke, SFAICT...

| − | I'm not sure why the comment about acidity only being applicable about liquids is in there, but it's neither true (see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201000252), nor relevant to the explanation of the comment. I'm going to edit it out. {{unsigned ip|162.158.62.123}}

| − | "Common true stereotype"? What qualifies that a stereotype is true? Citation needed? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.44.143|172.69.44.143]] 17:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
