	Green as the Only Primary Color (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, by Robert Ridgway (1912), the author notes that "green [is], in fact, the only spectrum color that cannot be made by mixture of the other colors" (p 19).
		Apparently, it was believed that there were colors whose hues could not be reproduced by mixing other colors (additive primaries for additive mixing and subtractive primaries for subtractive mixing).
		Ridgway points out that this seems contrary to his own experience, as he was able to produce pure hues of red, and blue through additive mixing, but was unable to produce green in this way, so presumably then red and blue could not be primaries by the then-accepted definition.
