Using logical OR and AND is daft for this anyway, you're adding, not performing logical operations.  I'd write green + blue = cyan, or #00FF00 + #0000FF = #00FFFF

When you go to the shop and buy some beans for $2 and some carrots for $3, would you write $2 OR $3 = $5?  If the shopkeeper asked you for two or three dollars, you wouldn't give him 5 would you?
