How do I produce non-neutral colors with light?

When is it not a neutral?

In the Additive Color System, you get neutrals by mixing equal parts of red, blue and green light. When you apply unequal amounts of red, blue and green light, you produce colors other than white, grays and black. You cannot produce neutrals with just two of the light primaries, either.
