Pi is one of a few irrational numbers found inside mathematics.
There are an infinite number of irrational numbers.
So you are infinitely wrong.
That's sort of impressive.

Hopefully this helps you understand:

I'm correcting myself, that^ isn't 100% correct.  This is:

Mix E7B700 and FFCF00 = F3C300
Mix CF9E00 and E7B700 = DBAB00

So we have:

255 207
243 195
231 183
219 171
207 158

And 255 158 is orange.

The definition of "mix" is unclear here.

We can narrow it down to say that it is representing colors.
- Are you mixing paints or pigments? These are subtractive colors.
- Are you mixing light from a data projectors? These are additive colors.

Treating it like mixing binary numbers:
- Are you adding them?
- Are you subtracting them?
- Are you multiplying or dividing them?
- But I suspect that these are 3 binary numbers of 2 HEX digits each, which modifies the way that arithmetic operations work
- If so, is there some normalisation if the numbers overflow?
- Exclusive-OR?
- AND or OR?

There are so many ways to "Mix" colors and numbers that all of them can end up with some digits of Phi.

I think that the more common term is "The Golden Ratio".
It is most significant as the ratio of other things.
So what is the golden color a ratio of?

All the Fibonacci sequence math is done first, from that point on it is the mean average, like mixing paints.

  255    207
+207  +158
=462  =365
     /2       /2
=231  =183

Look at the other attachments I've posted also.
