primary colors
Red, yellow, blue
Primary colors are a set of colors that can be mixed to produce a wide range of other colors but cannot themselves be created by mixing.
The traditional set—red, yellow, and blue—applies to pigments and paints.
In light and digital displays, the primaries are red, green, and blue.
Children learn to mix primary colors in art class.
