Primary colors depend on the color model being used. TV/monitors use the additive RGB color model while printing uses the subtractive CMYK

As an art student, there are two primary color sets. Pigment and Light. red yellow and blue work and so to cyan magenta yellow and black.

Why do monitors use RGB? Is it just a standard, or can they not accurately display using CMYK?
DiracsDelta
If you want to get technical, RGB are the primary colors of light, and light is what enters your eyes. Light is additive, while pigment(1/2)
DiracsDelta
is subtractive. With a TV, there is phosphorus glowing and actually creating light. Mixing RGB colors makes white light. But with pigment...
DiracsDelta
...mixing CYM makes black. Pigments simply select which colors of light they will reflect or absorb.
Garend
You seem really knowledgeable, why is it RGB and not red YELLOW and blue for the light making colors?
DiracsDelta
Lol, I'm glad I seem credible, and I'm happy to answer. But the character limit is a bitch, so I'll send you a PM if thats okay. :)

While I believe that magenta, cyan and yellow would make the painting more vibrant aren't those colours still variants of 1/2

the traditional red, blue, and yellow? And it also depends on what you want the painting to look like 2/3

I've made oil paintings with only the primary colours (and used some white) and they've turned out pretty great. 3/3

You can do digital work in CMYK. It's usually what you would work in for artwork destined for print.
ShottyBiondi
They're more referring to websites or anything that isn't going to end up printed, but yes, you almost always want to use CMYK for print.
Albinoblackbears
Isn't the primary colors for light red green and blue, is that the same for digital?

lostparanoia
There are no primary colors of light that I know of. colored light is just light of a certain wavelength. There are no "special" wavelengths
O11o1
They're "primary" colors because those are the three colors the cone cells of the human eye are optimized to see.
andybrice
If your work is mainly to be viewed on a screen, yes. If it's mainly to be printed you'll probably work in CMYK.
Beelsebooob
Bull – red, blue and yellow are all primary colours. Just red and blue are additive ones, while yellow is subtractive.
wherearethenoodles
They did say *pigment* colors.
Malkiot
All colours are primary colours, depending on what you want to do with them.
Beelsebooob
Nope, sorry. There's only 6 primary colours – 3 additive (red, green and blue), and 3 subtractive (cyan, magenta, yellow).
Malkiot
Errm... yes. By definition primary colours are any set of colours used to make range of useful colours. Useful depends on what you want. 1/2
Malkiot
Those are simply the colours commonly used as primary colours. 2/2
Malkiot
As an example in photography, orange, violet, and green used to be used as primary colours.
Beelsebooob
Orange, violet and green were used because they were as close to red, green and blue as could be got at the time. The result was that (1/2)
Beelsebooob
Photos taken using autochrome could not cover the whole colour spectrum, because they were not using the additive primaries (2/2)
Malkiot
Yes, but the point is that primary colours need not necessarily cover the whole spectrum (RGB doesn't).
WardSharlow
RGB are primary colors. CMY are subtractive pigments. Sorry to be pedantic, but if we're going to have a technical discussion . .
ninmonkey
OP also ignores pigment vs light mixing.
erockinit
Except that's not technically correct. RYB is a color model used for painting, and in that color model, RYB are the primary colors.

Most of polygraphy is done with CMY. RGB would work only with light. Well try to mix green and red paint, if you get yellow i eat my socks.

That makes sense. But what i meant is just a physical mixture of 2 colors.

RGB are primary colors in an additive scheme. If you look very closely, RGB are used on monitors. CMYK is subtractive - as in dyes

Seeing as all color IS light, RGB are the only valid primary colors in this universe.
ValientPungentReindeerKing
Additive color comes from a light source such as a monitor or tv and has RGB as it's primary colors.

When you mix all additive colors together you get white. When you mix all subtractive colors you get black.
douevenlurkbro
But, alas, light STILL differs from paint PIGMENT. *sigh

Subtractive color is the color you see when light reflects off something. It has CMY as its primary colors.

It should work just fine as long as you don't overlap those two. Then, you'll have red and green dots side-by-side just like on RGB monitor.

HomWapko
Red green and blue are the primary colors of light.

correct, not pigment though.

No they aren't, they're the colours the cones in our eyes detect. That doesn't have anything to do with light itself.
HomWapko
For additive color mixing in the spectrum visible to humans, yes they are. Trust me, I'm a physicist.
fabaerooni
I'm not discounting their role in additive colour mixing, I'm just disputing everyone arguing over which model is primary :/
DiracsDelta
Color is completely subjective because of the cones. There is no such thing as primaries unless you are talking about eyes. RGB IS primary.

Why no yellow? I don't get this cause blue and yellow MAKE green. Are u saying my kindy teacher was wrong?

Three pigments? I don't believe you, sorry. RGB (3 tubes) in oil gets you jack shit. Try the Zorn pallette if you want three. Any 3 needs Y.
legolass
I mean, not just those three obviously, I shortened it for the sake of the allotted words on the comment section :) And I meant RYB haha
molotovcock
Oh, gotcha! Sure, there a ton of good RYB pallets. The RGB only works with monitors, if you want anywhere near full spectrum.
legolass
Haha definitely :) I love me some cadmium yellows. Mmmm toxic paint....
banz111
And the OP does not even get into the issue of gamut. CMYK cannot be mixed to become every color. Generally, graphic artists use (1/2)
banz111
(2/2) more than one color for each primary depending upon the desired result (e.g. cad. yellow, yellow ochre; cerulean blue, & ultramarine)
JacksCompleteLackOfAUsername
As a beginner painter; can you expand please? :)
woozle
certain colors (3 mains) cannot be mixed to attain other shades. They don't include white, browns, etc. It takes finesse and learning how1/2

some colors react. Red isn't very opaque. if you paint red over blue it'll look shitty. if you paint red over white it'll be more vibrant..
