Best Answer

Yes

both cyan, magenta and yellow (paint etc) AND reb, green, blue (think about the colours used on screen) are sets of primary colours - how is this possible?

The two sets of colours are used in very different ways:

the first set are printed colours - paint, ink etc and they SUBTRACT from the light to create the colour. The colour starts off white and once all primary colours are combined you have black.

However, red green blue are used for displays (Computer Monitors, tv screens etc) and they are ADDING light to achieve the colour. The colour starts off black and by adding all these primary colours you have an end result of white.

The "additive primaries" in paint are red, blue and yellow--the additive primaries in light are red, green and blue. Subtractive primaries are cyan, magenta and yellow.
