@ Scott:
changing constants to

constant color2 = "255,64,0" -- red-orange - tertiary
constant color3 = "255,127,0" -- orange - secondary

constant color8 = "0,191,255" -- green-blue - tertiary

We get close to the so-called "official" color wheel. Of course we enter the quicksand
territory of subjective choices, CMYK gamut (geared to pigment) vs RGB gamut (light based), using
yellow, cyan, magenta as primary apexes instead of RGB 255 on three channels etc. So the precise
logic for setting values starts to blur as we move toward "recognition" colors that
people expect.. which are more pigment based.
The algorithm:
"go up and down by halves" (255, 127, 64)
worked in the yellow to orange-red range, but did not work, or works differently, in the
blue to violet-red range. If we wanted to drop back to the pigment based gamut, then we
have to find a way to algorithmically "add mud" to all of them… tricky…
Interesting… at any rate… I got what I needed… a lot easier (an less messy!)
than the old days when I had to actually mix inks for the KORD!

Thanks Scott.. this gets me very close and I can see the pattern.
I can tweak this to get to the "official" formal color wheel which has the
three primaries, three secondaries and six tertiaries in proper order
