Color spectrum problem with my 3 BlinkMs: No pure Orange or Yellow?
Hi,
while trying to build a nice color coded clock with 3 BlinkMs, I came across a problem: With RGB values of 255,255,0 I don't get by no means a nice yellow color, nor a pure orange with 255, 128,0. And yes, I diffused the light to get a proper mixture.
As for my settings I hooked up the BlinkM directly to my Arduino 2009 and I used the BlinkM sequencer and tried all kinds of RGB values to see if the colors appear as expected: Red, Blue, Green, Magenta, Cyan are all fine. But yellow or orange end up to be just light green!
Did I something wrong or is this "problem" inherent to RGB LEDs in general?
Thank you for your kind attention,

I’m a little bit frustrated.
