It seems Gizmodo might have gotten even that wrong. According to this (much more informative) page [0], I think they were dyed cyan (so dark areas absorb red), magenta (dark areas absorb green), and yellow (dark areas absorb blue). The Italian Wikipedia article also contains a helpful illustration [1] (missing on the English one unfortunately).
