Traditionally, the colors red, yellow, and blue are considered to be primary pigments in the art world. However, this is not technically true, or is at least inaccurate. The three primary colors of pigment are magenta, yellow, and cyan. (Thus when calling "red, yellow, and blue" the primary colors of pigment, "red" is an inaccurate way of saying "magenta" and "blue" is an inaccurate way of saying "cyan"). Blue and green are actually secondary pigments, but they are primary colors of light, along with red.

A primary color or colour is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space. Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space: mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color, mixing a secondary with a primary produces what is sometimes called a tertiary color.

Primary colors are colors that can't be made by anything else. Blue, red, and yellow are primary colors. Example: When you mix blue and yellow, two primary colors, you get green, a secondary color.

There are three primary colours, Red, Blue, & Yellow.
These are the three colours used to mix the secondary colours; Orange, Green, & Yellow. These six colours are used to mix your tertieary colours. All your shades of greys, browns, and muted hues.
Mixing your secondaries is easy enought but when you start mixing for tertiearies then you have to be careful or you're going to end up with mud on your pallette.

They are the three colors which cannot be made by mixing other colors, and from which all other colors are derived. Red, Blue, Yellow
This applies only to pigment color, not colored light.
Light color primaries are magenta (purplish red), yellow and cyan (blue-green)
