Er, isn't that red, green, and yellow?

There is no such thing as "the primary" colours.

Well, most generally consider RGB to be the primary colors of light,
and that is the subject under discussion here.



Colour is a very subjective thing.

If you're dealing with paint it would be red, blue and yellow (or Cyan,
Magenta and Yellow)

But we are not dealing with paint (for which the proper selection is
the latter, IIRC).

If dealing with light the most commonly used one would be red, blue and
green (RGB)

Exactly.
