I legitimately had a huge argument with my (former) roommate over primary colors.

She was more artsy, I was insistent that the primary colors were RGB, she was insistent that they were RYB. We googled. We were both right in some senses.




Good job you didn't have a third roommate who worked in printing...


Hilariously enough, my fiance now works in printing and actually mixes the colors (t-shirt printing).

I haven't brought it up yet because we once had a fight over whether that thing you put outside your shower is called a bath mat or a bath rug (Both are correct in different circumstances)


CMYK would be right. RYB means you can't produce cyan or magenta or vivid purples or pinks.


I had the same argument with my wife (fortunately not huge...)
