names like burgundy or magenta are acceptable but please choose which shade it more represents instead of the third option

explanation under the cut

Why the others don't work:

lets say you do an rgb poll, the most any single colour can get is 100% which would be, for red #ff0000, for green #00ff00, and for blue #0000ff

but say you want a nice colour like the one above: #8888ff to get that from that poll you'd need

red: 50%

green: 50%

blue: 100%

this just isnt possible on our polls

you could try other methods to get higher values but there will always be different areas you simply cant represent with a simple rgb or cmyk poll

Why This One Works:

by having a separate option for each colours complimentary parter, it means theres a separate reference point for each rgb value!

to work out say the red value, i take the red % and the cyan % from the poll and plug them in here:

rgb% / (rgb%+cmyk%)

so if i want red to be #ff, then red%= any number cyan% = 0 so the total amount of red is 100%

say i want #88 red, then i get red% = cyan% so its 50% red!

lets go back to #8888ff the results now could be:

red: 5%

cyan: 5%

green: 25%

magenta: 25%

blue: 40%

yellow: 0%

there are certain colours that this method cannot produce, something like #fefefe cant be got since there isnt a high enough resolution we can get with these polls (read: they dont have enough decimal places to be that precise)

but imo that's better than having whole areas you can't reach
