What is the color of this mat?

My siblings and I are discussing what is the color of this mat since we ordered it to be a white color. Some are saying a light shade of lavender and others like a cloud gray. What do you all think?

Section stuck as one color

A section of one of my case fans is stuck as one color. Kinda hard to see in those video. I was told not to open the nzxt cam app because it would cause issues with signal rgb, but i opened it anyways 🤦🏽‍♂️ because i wanted the temps of my components back instead of the signal rgb s. I thinkkk maybe opening nzxt cam is what stuck my fan like this, but im not sure if it was already like that before i opened nzxt cam. Maybe it was already like that and i didn’t notice… also opening nzxt cam didn’t even work because signal rgb instand force closed nzxt cam saying “conflicting process closed” so it shouldn’t have affected anything because it was instant closed. Plz help 🥺

Which is more accurate and have better complementary colors: RYB, RGB, or CMYK?

In RYB (primary colors of pigment), there are:

Red = Green

Yellow = Purple

Blue = Orange

In both RGB and CMYK (the primary and secondary colors of light), there are:

Red = Cyan

Green = Magenta

Blue = Yellow

Some say that the RYB color model is outdated, and that both RGB and CMYK are accurate.

Despite this, some still use RYB, and some (allegedly) believed that darkness isn't black, but is actually purple (or blue-violet), which implies that light isn't white, but is actually either yellow or orange.

Help learning color theory

Hi, I am a casual artist, I just do it for myself for fun and I’m not amazing at it but some of my stuff comes out pretty decent. I really struggle with mixing colors and creating a pallet for my pieces.

I am looking for tips on learning color theory or books for beginners to learn color theory. I think this is the next step to really make my stuff shine

Thank you!
