Remark! In the Theory of Light, red, blue and green are the primary colours. However, in Painting Theory used in art, the three primary colours are red, yellow and blue. As a result, the secondary and tertiary colours in art are a little different to those in optics. This may cause a bit confusion when doing a research in internet.
Primary colors of the CMY color model: cyan, magenta, and yellow, mixed to form secondary colors red, green, and blue. The RGB color model is an additive mixing model, used to estimate the mixing of colored light, with primary colors red, green, and blue. The secondary colors are yellow, cyan and magenta as demonstrated here:
White light is a combination of all colors in the color spectrum. It has all the colors of the rainbow. Combining primary colors of light like red, blue, and green creates secondary colors: yellow, cyan, and magenta. All other colors can be broken down into different combinations of the three primary colors.
Complementary Colors of Light. Complementary colors are a primary and secondary colors that combine to form white light. Cyan is a secondary color which is the same as having blue and green in one place. Since blue and green mix with red to form white light, cyan can mix with red light to form white light.
If red and green beams of light are combined in equal amounts, they create the colour yellow (in this case, yellow is a secondary colour—the result of a mixture of two primary colours—but in the subtractive CMY and RYB colour models, yellow serves as a primary colour).
The combination of primary and secondary colors is known as tertiary or intermediate colors, due to their compound nature. Blue-green, blue-violet, red-orange, red-violet, yellow-orange, and yellow-green are color combinations you can make from color mixing. On a color wheel, tertiary colors are between primary and secondary colors.

The primary colors of pigment are magenta, yellow, and cyan (commonly simplified as red, yellow, and blue). Pigments are chemicals that absorb selective wavelengths —they prevent certain wavelengths of light from being transmitted or reflected. Because paints contain pigments, when white light (which is composed of red, green, and blue light ...
