My original were off by about 10 brightness each time. Also the grey's you have below that are fake. One they aren't the same grey as what the original colors are and all of them are exactly the same, leading me to believe you just picked a grey and made three circles.
All three of those are pure red blue and green, as I've said. Of course the color values differ, it's what I've been arguing the entire time. In a roundabout way, you've just proved your own ignorance about the physics of color, and my own point.
To anyone who still doesn't think that things with different chrominance (color) can have the same luminance (brightness), do this:
1) Open up my image in your image editor.
2) Set to grayscale mode.
3) Notice that all the circles are the same color.
I found three colors with all of the same K values (~45%), copy merged the picture, opened it up in a new document, changed it to gray scale mode, copied the new image and put it into the old document. My process is completely transparent. That can't be said for you.
PS - Don't quote the picture. And don't try to cheat again.
Funny you accuse me of doing the exact thing you did, this is what I get when I grayscale your image in Photoshop:
I was going to be nice about it, but hey, if that's the way you want to play.
