Any three linearly independent colours can serve as basis, red-blue-green is just a rather convenient one with near maximum independence. | |

| Jun 6, 2015 at 9:31 | comment | added | Gonenc | I think from the position of physics they are all the same. It's basically a biological distinction. See also Is it only red, green and blue that can make up any color through additive mixture? | |
| Jun 6, 2015 at 9:28 | comment | added | AJFaraday | This much I had gathered, the question is about what singles out the primary colours. | |
| Jun 6, 2015 at 9:26 | comment | added | Gonenc | The wavelength/frequency of light of different colours are different. | |
