In the "Matrix" flims, the blue pill represented "ignorance is bliss", not having to know the inner workings of everything. The red pill represented knowledge, but also complexity and even overwhelm. The metaphor can be distilled down to the "red pill vs. blue pill", "eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge" so to speak, vs. "ignorance is bliss" or "just go along for the ride and don't think about it".

You cannot take both the red pill and the blue pill. By taking one, you completely reject the other. They represent divergent paths: one allows you to open your mind to the truth, while the other allows you to remain blissfully ignorant. Seeing as you could not at the same time have knowledge of the truth and be ignorant of it, you could not take both pills. If you did, you would likely spontaneously combust.

What color would come out if you combined the colors lavender and red?

blue, or bluish-green If you have made your own purple by combining red and blue, and have not mixed it well or made it a more of a blue violet, then you will get the bluish green because of the yellow mixing with the blue. If you are using a premixed violet such as deep violet, then yellow becomes the complementary color and you get gray or brown depending on the ratio and exact yellow you are using. you can see a demonstration of it on the related link. EDIT I'd actually say that the colour you would get would be brown. Purple is made up of red and blue, 2 primary colours, the third primary colour being yellow. If you mix the three primary colours you get brown, hence why I think you'd get brown.The Edit: The blending of three primary colors (red and blue in the purple, with yellow) creates a neutral gray. Depending on the amount of each color, you will achieve anything from a more brownish gray, to an almost charcoal gray.
