To make all colors in pigment the 3 primaries must be transparent. Transparent yellow is ASTM number PY150 made from the nickel element. Transparent magenta is PR122, C20H12N2O2. Transparent yellow and transparent magenta mix into the secondary pigment color red. The 3rd transparent primary pigment color is cyan, made from the copper element, PB15. Transparent yellow and transparent cyan make the secondary color green. Transparent cyan mixed with the the transparent magenta color make the secondary color ultramarine blue. Yellow, magenta and cyan are the primary pigment colors, red, green and blue are the secondary pigment colors. Light uses the opposite colors, the secondary pigment colors become the primary light colors. Red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors in pigment or in light. Those colors came from Newton in 1600 and they are just the most obvious colors in the prism and rainbow. RCW
