You're never going to get white by canceling/filtering colors out of a 
source. If you want white, you're going to have to *ADD* whatever color 
is lacking. White, when talking of light, is, by definition, *ALL* 
colors at essentially equal levels. Remove (ferinstance) red from a 
source that's at least sorta close to white, and the "total" output 
becomes blue-ish. (Cyan, if you want to get technical) Remove green, and 
it becomes purplish. (Magenta, for the tech-types) Remove blue, and the 
output goes yellow. (In this case, yellow is also the technical term! :) 
) Obviously, removing a combination of colors brings the third, 
un-touched, color into dominance

On the other hand, if you get a strip that's red, and a strip that's 
green, and a strip that's blue, and then run 'em together at equal 
brightness, you'll get a "total" that's visible as white.
