That's literally what primary colors are. How do you think screens and printers are able to produce every color despite only working with 3 of them? Because that's literally what primary colors are.

Yes. You do realize our eyes only have three kinds of cones right? Rgb are the primary colors lol. Cmy if you're looking at subtractive colors. Using these three colors, you can create every other color. Rgb for light/additive, Cmy for ink/paint/subtractive.

Rby is not primary in any sense of the word.

Yeah that's just incorrect. Additive primaries are RGB. Subtractive primaries are CMY. You're free to deny the facts all you'd like, but this is just an objective scientific thing.

Some childrens tv shows or media programs stating incorrect information does not make it correct. Additive primaries are RGB, subtractive primaries are CMY. The idea that RBY are primary colors is a popular misconception, but is incorrect. It has it's roots in art classes prior to proper scientific investigation of color, light, and modern technology. If your goal is art history, then yes, people in the past incorrectly believed that the primary colors (both additive and subtractive) were RBY. They were wrong. Just as people believed the earth was flat, yet were wrong.
