should be  red light +blue light + (red + green) light

But if we assume that the red, blue and yellow lights are all the same strength, then we 
have (1.5 X red + 1 X blue + 0.5 green) light, which will appear a sort of pale violet.

Nonsense. Take a REAL close look at your TV set. See the tiny dot's which make up the 
picture? None of them are yellow.

Of course, the light is still red light + blue light + yellow light. The frequencies of 
the light waves are still the same. It will just appear pale violet to the human eye.

Now can we get back to Rugby League?
