❯ Combining colors: #0096FF + #FF2E2E produces what color? 

● When mixing these two colors additively (RGB light mixing), you average the components:

  - #0096FF (blue): RGB(0, 150, 255)
  - #FF2E2E (red): RGB(255, 46, 46)

  Average:
  - R: (0 + 255) / 2 = 128
  - G: (150 + 46) / 2 = 98
  - B: (255 + 46) / 2 = 151

  Result: #806297 — a muted purple/violet.

  If you're doing direct additive blending (like overlapping lights), you'd get a lighter pink-magenta since values would saturate toward white.

❯ what if I add orange? 

● Adding orange (#FFA500, RGB: 255, 165, 0) to the mix:

  If averaging all three original colors:
  - #0096FF (0, 150, 255)
  - #FF2E2E (255, 46, 46)
  - #FFA500 (255, 165, 0)

  Average:
  - R: (0 + 255 + 255) / 3 = 170
  - G: (150 + 46 + 165) / 3 = 120
  - B: (255 + 46 + 0) / 3 = 100

  Result: #AA7864 — a dusty mauve/brownish-rose.

  If adding orange to the previous purple result (#806297):
  - R: (128 + 255) / 2 = 192
  - G: (98 + 165) / 2 = 132
  - B: (151 + 0) / 2 = 76

  Result: #C0844C — a warm copper/tan.

  Both end up in brownish territory, which makes sense — mixing many colors tends toward muddy browns/grays.
