Hi Caelean,
The "color" everyone references when referring to the Chromeputer does not refer to spectral color, but to quantum "color". Instead of light, which an aspect of the electromagnetic force, the computer uses color charge, an aspect of the strong force, to determine bit states.
These are various physical states of baryons composed of a triplet of quarks, which in turn are composed of combinations of properties such as charm, strange, up, down, top, and bottom. The words mean nothing, and are only placeholders to describe the different states.
By mediating color charge, the bit is able to change physical states beyond electric charge, which has only two states. More can be learned by looking up the term Quantum Chromodynamics.
This would require electronics and power beyond my understanding, but I assume that every computer in this future age would be powered by a minuscule nuclear reactor.

I have a question:
Usually a computer has two states in our time: On and off. In the Chromeputer, are there really 10 states?
The only way I can see 10 states through light and colors is:
1 = red
2 = orange
3 = yellow
4 = green
5 = blue
6 = indigo
7 = violet
8 = infrared
9 = white
X/0 = off/black/no light
Is that how it works?

the fact that this place is so advanced, yet they are talking about reaching base10 is deeply interesting...

it's all because of SV in Secretary
I swear, this Thanksgiving
I am going to quietly help prepare for everything, then when everyone starts eating, I'm just going to shout, "SHOW ME THE SECRET OF CORN"

I would just like to say that I am highly amused by this discussion about corn.

No way #6
Corn is just a grass Native Americans selectively bred to be huge. Its a abomination. Why do you think it always gets stuck in your teeth? Because it HATES YOU.

i thought the corn just represented progress and technology as well as harmony with the earth

@jkd lol I was thinking that the corn was more of an homage to Secretary, but whatever.
Corn is scary, too, even in today's world.

It looks like it Moss, and its too bad too. I was really excited about this story, now that I know its going to be about growing corn. Not so much.
I don't even like corn. Its not a real vegetable its a grain ok?
