YES YES YES ! IT DOES TOO WORK !!!!!

 By my will,
 My will alone,
 I set my mind in motion...

   Grey is grey is grey is grey and you can't turn it red or blue in a
 grey world.
   It's the artistic interpretation of the colors applied to the medium
 that will make it work and the physics of are not important to the the
 minds interpretation of the colors. If I have an object I want colored
 a certain way THAT is physical reality. If I have to match the grey
 colors in a black and white photo then there may be an issue but only
 if I choose to make an issue out of it. Fact is with art you don't
 have to care about physical reality. Show me a painting by one of
 the "Masters" that really looks like a 3D human were standing there.
 I have yet to see one.

  Get my point or should I rationalize it a bit more for you ?
