"Unless it's only red" is sufficient to prove the point.  And in any case,
even with three values, you still have the same problem; see my trivial
example for yellow light.  Jon appears to be a better mathematician than I
am (which isn't difficult, I'll admit), and perhaps his explanation will be
clearer to you than mine.  I understand the concepts perfectly, but I hate
math.
