May watched Kasuya open a small box. "Is that my new maid uniform?" she asked eagerly.
"Yup," Kasuya said. "And I was careful to order another red one for you."
He opened the box, pulled out the uniform, and shook it out. May's face suddenly fell. "Is something wrong?" Kasuya asked.
"It isn't red," May said.
"What do you mean?" Kasuya asked. "Of course it's red!"
"Red is RGB(255, 0, 0)," May said. "That uniform is RGB(253, 2, 3)."
"May?" said Kasuya. "Just because your optical sensors are capable of distinguishing sixteen point seven million colors? You don't have to."
