“The gates of hell are open night and day; Smooth the descent, and easy is the way: But to return, and view the cheerful skies, In this the task and mighty labor lies.”

And then I finally realized they’re RGB vectors and additive:

000: black

001: red

010: green

011: yellow

100: blue

101: magenta

110: cyan

111: white
