Dec 22, 2017 at 14:14 comment added user179283 @ThePhoton I see... you appear to be right, but it is still technically a physics question, however the answer I want may be answered differently by an engineer, so I will consider reposting the question on/in a stackexchange for engineering. Thanks for pointing that out

Dec 21, 2017 at 10:49 comment added user179283 There's also the laser safety thing, but once I can safelylook at my display without [risking the result of] hurting myself [from doing so]; I still need help with: knowing if-and/or-how-to: get the images to display their intended colors (a way to get a reasonably close approximate of their intended [RGB] colors is all I am expecting/hoping-for [from the CMY display device]).
Dec 21, 2017 at 10:39 comment added user179283 I apologize if there's something in the rules against twofers; I'll try not to do it again, but in this case: I felt it was necessary as an intrinsic supplement to the context. I would rather not break this into 2 seperate questions, but if I am breaking a hard rule: then I am willing to [begrudgenly] do so
Dec 21, 2017 at 10:33 comment added user179283 Cos most questions about "RGB to CMYK" realize that RGB is additive while CMYK is subtractive, but in this case: they are both additive (as the are both a collection of 3 overlapping channels of produced light in this instance). So many of the answers to the usually framing of this question, are unhelpful seeming to me, since they do not address the context of this specific scenario.
Dec 21, 2017 at 10:31 comment added user179283 It could also be refrased as: "Can an additive CMYK system be realistically used? and what are the maths for converting additive RGB to it?" I know that the light is still behaving like RGB, because its... light. But with CMY light sources, would I still be able represent a broad range of colors? My one question wasn't vague, but it was about 2 things: eye-safety & color/light math (specifically as it relates to: RGB to CMY conversions).
