Red, blue & yellow are the 3 primary colors.
Green, orange & purple are the secondary colors : each one made from
2 primary colors.
But to make any of them lighter or darker, we need black & white also.
Black, white & all their shades of gray are said to be color-neutral ... maybe color-less.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Most humans have light receptors in their eyes for 3 frequencies, which we call red, yellow, blue. Other fauna have different frequency receptors, like frequencies lower than red (infrared) which reveal lesser temperatures (of heat).
All colors that most of us see are a mixture of these 3 colors because those are the only colors we can see. People who have at least one of these 3 colors absent or nonfunctioning are known as color-blind.
The RGB Color Palate uses Red, Green, Blue to emulate the colors of our visible spectrum.
These are the 3 colors known as the primary RGB colors.
Secondary colors are when 2 of the primary RGB colors are added in equal measure, or balance.
Red plus Green produces Yellow.
Green plus Blue produces Cyan.
Red plus Blue produces Magenta
A balanced blend of all 3 Primary Colors produces White.
Same for a balanced mix of all 3 Secondary Colors..
Absence of all colors is black.
In the RGB Color schedule used here, each of the colors Red, Green, Blue are assigned intensity between 0 and 255 (ff).
Most primates have 3 color receptors so are trichromats. Most other placental mammals have 2 color receptors, so are dichromats. Birds and marsupials have 4 color receptors, so are tetrachromats.
It was theorized that some humans could have a 4th color receptor, but they could only be female. Once it was proven such a person existed (the frequency of color was already known within the theory), then this person has a 4th Primary Color which cannot be created by the mixing of any other colors, and which the rest of us are blind to.
I believe this color is in the yellow range of frequency, and is the same as a color that bees detect.

Perhaps it would be more clear to say that in the RGB Color palette Yellow is the absence of Blue, and Cyan is the absence of Red, and Magenta is the absence of Green.
Anyhow, researchers had wanted to prove that a human tetrachromats did exist, or at least somebody who could see the 4th color (in the event one or more of their other 3 colors was nonfunctioning). They had a billboard which, using the 4th color, said something like "if you can read this call 1-800-555-1234 to receive $100,000" and they got no response. After something like 5 years they gave up and discontinued the billboard rental.
Something like a month before it was changed, one lady mentioned to her passenger friend that it was a waste of space to have a solid red billboard for the past years. The friend didn't understand, said you mean the one that offers money to call the toll free number?
She had seen it re

I just found a reference for Web Colors at wiki.
Looks like I guessed some of the above correctly.

I have added a few. Including the 5 colors of the Serenity CSTS Logo.
And links to alphabetical list of colors, with HTML color coordinates.

Still adding colors to the OP.

Well, this thread really fell behind the spambots.
Which makes it harder to find for reference.
Time to try out that ff7518 for Pumpkin.

nice thread
I just wanted to add that the primary yellow-blue-red set are for absorptive colors like paint; while the r-g-b set are for emissive colors like a computer screen.
