If a 3 lead, red/green LED was switched between leads/colors at a rapid rate, would/could a brown color appear to be emitted?
That is true. On our unit it was orange when I looked down when the unit was sitting on the table, so I was looking at the led sort of from the side. But when you looked straight at it, head on, then it is more yellow.Last time I did this with a red & green LED it appeared as orange with both alternating on: you need the proper mix of red & green to get yellow.
True - but if you dim it down to low current, the yellow will start to look brown.You are thinking of red and green subtractive colors.
If you mix red and green paint you get brown.
However if you add red light to green light you will get yellow.
Orange is about midway between yellow & brown.real men know the difference.. Its orange..
