Just occurred to me after looking at the video again, that would be the perfect way to explain to someone how the other colors are constructed, after you have the three primary ones!

People need to take time sometimes to remember their first impressions as children as they actually discovered how beautiful colors are. I remember discovering the existence of red, in kindergarten, seeing it for the first time at the conscious level, in pictures of red tulips, even though I had seen red in the environment around me, had been to scatterbrained to actually focus on anything earlier. Red seemed huge to me.

Same with yellow, at 8 years old, and blue, a little later, with green and lavender looming into view on beautiful dresses my mom got for me, which nearly hypnotized me, the colors being so beautiful. Color really has power for those who are open to it.
