There are two TYPES of primary colours, subtractive and addative. The primary subtractive colours are red yellow and blue. These occur when you mix paint to get different colours such as red and yellow to get orange. This happens because red paint reflects red light and absorbs all the other colours but doesn't absorb all of the orange reflecting just some. The yellow paint absorbs all the others but reflects all of the yellow and some orange and green. When red and yellow paints are mixed, the red paint absorbs the yellow and the yellow paint absorbs the red so the only colour still reflected is orange. The primary addative colours are like those on a computer monitor and are red, green and blue. These involves producing colours and not just reflecting them. To get the other colours like yellow each pixel on a monitor shines brightly in red and green and produces the same appearance to your eyes as yellow paint would.
