Light is transmitted colour, it is called additive colour. Pigment is reflected colour.
They have different primary colours. When the light is reflected from something, as in paint, the three primary colours are red, yellow, and blue but for transmitted light the primary colours are red, green, blue - RGB.
Computer screens and televisions use RGB colour. Red + Green gives yellow; Red + Blue gives magenta and Green + Blue gives cyan.
