Original Note:
False. Gray is not all colors combined, but rather a balanced mix of black and white. Combining all colors of light (red, green, and blue in the RGB model) produces white light. This is because light adds wavelengths together, and white contains all visible wavelengths. https://pavilion.dinfos.edu/Article/Article/2305097/color-theory-basics/ https://web.mit.edu/abyrne/www/colors%26reflectances.html https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/collex/exhibits/originsof-color/color-theory/
