A prism, by its nature, refracts light, creating a visual illusion. This could be used to represent how something beautiful or seemingly harmless (like a prism) can be a form of confinement or deception, much like a prison.

Sir Isaac Newton photonic experiments. 1665-1666

Conclusion:

Newton concluded that white light was not a single color but a mixture of different colors. He further confirmed this by passing a single color from the spectrum through a second prism, which resulted in the same color.

Significance:

This experiment revolutionized the understanding of light and color, establishing that color is a property of light itself, not just a result of the viewer's perception. It laid the foundation for scientific inquiry into color and optics.

The colors of the primary bill's of Switzerland are yellow, red, green and blue. It is stated scientifically that the colors red, yellow, and blue are subtractive to white light while, red, blue, and green are additive to a dark screen.

RGB

This is what I understand.

Secondary Colors:

Mixing the primary colors in pairs produces secondary colors:

Red + Yellow = Orange 

Yellow + Blue = Green 

Red + Blue = Purple 

Red + Yellow + Blue = Black

Order out of chaos symbology?
