I felt I had better correct my mistake.
Thanks to this thread my understanding of pigment colour theory has undergone a much needed (though still learning) overhaul -
that the artist's traditional colour wheel has been considered incorrect since 2004, and a new (though considered fallacious) theory replaces the pigment primaries of red, yellow and blue, with subtractive 'primaries' yellow, cyan and magenta - http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/color5.html ;
or another view that involves primary pigments of red, yellow, blue and green - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/color/.
Thanks for making this thread, as it (finally) helped me question some things I had taken for granted.
