JS quite rightly pointed out that <taken simplistically> all three colours
are equally significant.
There is nothing wrong with that observation in the context.
But a read through the thread, looking at occurrences of "signif"  will
show no occasion on which people used the concept of "significance" to
refer to the relative weight merit height valor or serendipitousness of the
component colours used.

Which is all I was saying.
As far as I can see it is a correct interpretation of the words that all
people wrote.
I may have missed something.
If I genuinely missed someone stating that colours were in some ways ranked
in significance and it seems worth pointing it out to me, please do. (I'd
much rather know where I've got things wrong than to proceed on blissfully
unaware of having done so).

 The order how each *bit* of *each color* is sent has everything

I don't see that any of us ever disagreed on anything.
As long as the comment on some colours not being more significant than
others was a philosophical musing and not a perceived correction I think we
have all been agreed throughout.

No?
