Question: What are the primary colors!?
I remember watching a game show (I think Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader) and one of the questions were "What colors are the primary colors!?" and the answer was Red, Blue and Green!. I could have sworn that the primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow because no two colors when mixed can make those!. The secondary colors are Purple, Green, and Orange because those are the colors the Primary colors can make!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
