I believe what he was referring to is the fact that red, green, and

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


Red, green, and blue are the additive primary colors. You can get
anything from combining those. (See your color monitor.)

The subtractive primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow; the three
(with black to help improve contrast) get you all the colors that you'll
find in, say, National Geographic magazine.
