I know from the art class I took in elementary school that there are primary colors and secondary colors. The primary ones being Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple.
So my question is why do we use red, green, and blue? Wouldn’t it make more sense to do every other color on the spectrum so that all colors in between could be mixed from them? Like Red, Yellow, and Blue?

All colors can already be mixed from red green and blue. Yellow is red + green. Orange is actually also red + green and purple is red + blue.
Red green and blue are already the primary colors. This is true because human eyes are sensitive to wavelengths peaking in three areas: red, green, and blue. Any other colors would add extra information that has alreay been covered.
