total sensitivity combined is about 2x
this is why there is a separate luminance/luminosity scale
which is a function(RGB) that outputs a scalar that is proportional to how brightly a color is perceived
iirc, it is something like 0.7x green + 0.45x red + 0.1 blue, or something like that
most printers when printing in grayscale will print based on luminance, and not based on value (which is closer to the unweighted sum of RGB)
