>No, it is not. It is the physically correct way to do it. 50% more red light is emitted than blue or green. That is a red tint.

That is a red tint. And that's why it's not the correct way to do it. A subpixel antialiased white line that is seven subpixels wide, on a black background, should not produce (8-bit RGB triplets): 0-0-0, 255-255-255, 255-255-255, 255-0-0.

Then that means you can not render full white.
Full brightness white is supposed to be reserved for light sources anyway, definitely not text background !
