In PP3, colours are given by their red–green–blue values (also
called the RGB colour scheme). Every value is between 0
and 1. For example, `1 0 0' is red, `0 0 1' is blue,
`0 0 0' is black and `1 1 1' is white.
For shades of grey all three values must be the same. So a medium grey
is `0.5 0.5 0.5'. For further examples have a look at the
following default values.
