Light is said to be transmitting when it is passing through any matter i.e. not through a vacuum but through a gas, liquid or solid. Light waves move at their highest speed when passing through a vacuum and slow down when passing through matter due to their interaction with the electrons around atoms, molecules or crystal lattices. Optical fibres made of special types of glass are used to transmit light signals in a similar way to copper wires used to transmit electrical signals.

When it comes to light, green is a primary color and yellow is the secondary. I cannot explain why this is, but it is how it works (Possibly because it is about transmitting light and not reflecting, but that doesnt explain why red and blue stay the same)
