> You can't mix anything to get yellow; because yellow is a primary color.

First you have to ask whether you are dealing with ADDITIVE colors or SUBTRACTIVE colors. ADDITIVE colors are like colored lights. SUBTRACTIVE colors are like paint.

For additive colors, you can make yellow from adding red and green light. Or yellow, being a "spectral" color, means that light of a pure certain wavelength, around 570nm, is itself yellow.

For subtractive colors, yellow indeed is a primary, and is the reason that the inks coming from most color printers are NOT red, green or blue, but rather cyan, magenta and yellow (and sometimes black). These are the SUBTRACTIVE primaries. The additive primaries are red, green and blue, which is why LCD screens have RGB pixels (which emit light).
