SUMMARY
The primary colors are defined differently in various contexts: Red, Yellow, and Blue are recognized as subtractive primary colors, while Red, Blue, and Green serve as additive primary colors. This distinction highlights the importance of context in color theory, particularly in art and video production. The discussion also touches on the concept of color mixing, where combinations of primary colors can create a wide spectrum of other colors.
