Yellow is one of the three primary colours used when printing or sometimes when painting. The others are cyan and magenta. This is called subtractive combinations, because the pigments absorb all the other colours, so the yellow pigment absorbs (subtracts) all colours except one, yellow, which it reflects.

It is not one of the primary colours used on TVs or computer monitors, which use red, green and blue. This is called additive combinations, because adding light of different colours give other colours in the spectrum.
