    There are two sets of primary colours: red, green and blue are the additive primaries used in colour vision, colour measurement, television sets and computer monitors (because they correspond to the sensitive elements in the human eye), but cyan, magenta and yellowsubtractive primaries used in colour photography and printing. A cyan filter transmits green and blue light (absorbing red), a magenta filter transmits red and blue light (absorbing green) and a yellow filter transmits red and green light (absorbing blue).
