The GL stores both a primary four-valued RGBA color and a secondary four-valued RGBA color (where alpha is always set to 0.0) that is associated with every vertex.
The secondary color is interpolated and applied to each fragment during rasterization when GL_COLOR_SUM is enabled. When lighting is enabled, and GL_SEPARATE_SPECULAR_COLOR is specified, the value of the secondary color is assigned the value computed from the specular term of the lighting computation. Both the primary and secondary current colors are applied to each fragment, regardless of the state of GL_COLOR_SUM, under such conditions. When GL_SEPARATE_SPECULAR_COLOR is specified, the value returned from querying the current secondary color is undefined.
glSecondaryColor3b, glSecondaryColor3s, and glSecondaryColor3i take three signed byte, short, or long integers as arguments. When v is appended to the name, the color commands can take a pointer to an array of such values.
