What is the difference between primary pigments and primary colors?

Answer 1

Primary colors are defined as specific wavelengths of visible or white light as the prism splits it. Yellow 570 – 580nm, Blue is ~475nm, while red is 650 - 660.

Primary pigments are molecules that reflect light at wavelengths closest to the spectral definition of the color. The pigment molecule in paint absorbs some of the light hitting it reflecting the rest. What it reflects is what we see as its color. A paint's appearance depends strongly on the light it is viewed in This is why paint appears to change color depending on the source of the light illuminating it.

Both a red and a white wall reflect light at 650nm. So if both walls are lit by a lamp that emits only a 650nm light they will appear to be the same color. A white wall exposed to red light will reflect red light just as well as a red wall because white pigments reflect all visible light.
