Does anyone really know why everything is RGB instead of RYB?

Like most people, I was brought up being told the primary colors were red, yellow, blue.

Was that simply wrong?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color has an explanation.

"This theory became dogma, despite abundant evidence that red, yellow, and blue primaries cannot mix all other colors, and has survived in color theory to the present day."


As yoda would say, "wrong it is".
