You color prims in Second Life.  You have access to all the colors that a monitor screen can render.  And really bright colors, because the monitor is creating the colors out of light.  Razor sharp edges (if you want them).  And changing colors if you have the scripts.

On seeing strongly colored cubes, my first word was, "Mondrian."
Mondrian
I made a Multimondian and scripts to change the colors.  More about that in another article.
