This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.
If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.
Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.
When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.

∙ 14y agoThe primary colors of light are red, yellow, and green.
Printing: yellow, cyan, magenta, plus black to make solid blacks.
Televison: red, green, blue.
The first answer needs to show how any combination of RYG can create blue.

∙ 12y agoThe standard answer, as you can find on Wikipedia, is that the primary colors of light are red, blue, and green. The primary colors of printing pigment, on the other hand, are considered to be cyan, yellow, and magenta. If the standard answer seems off-putting to you, I agree.
In fact, I have been doing research of my own on the subject, and I recommend a certain paper I have written. I also recommend a paper written by an internet physicist whom I met months ago and with whom I have been collaborating. You can find both my paper and his in the "related links" I have added. I certainly hope I am being helpful.

we will get black color when all the primary colors(RGB)* combine. * R-red; G-green; B-blue the combination of these primary colors in different proportions gives the different shades of colors. when all these colors combine we will get black. Depends on what you are mixing. :-) If you are mixing colored light, then mixing all colors gets you white. If you are mixing paint, it depends on the proportions, but if all are equal, you get black.
