SFColor and MFColor use 3 values which represent the Red, Green and Blue
(respectively) components of the color being identified. Each value can
range from 0 to 1, 0 being fully dark or off and 1 being fully bright or
on. True Red would be 1 0 0. White is 1 1 1, Black 0 0 0.

Play with the color selector in your favorite graphics package, and
adjust colors by RGB to get a handle on mixing the light primaries. (It
always fools folks at first that R + G = Yellow; just because of the
crazy way we were taught about colors in grade school; I used to have to
prove it to my Theatrical Lighting students by shining two spotlights
with dense filters on a neutral background).
