I think this has lost some truth with the advent of very high definition oled phone screens in fairness. I'm a quality whore and having my phone very close to my face is a decent experience for most movies.

Obviously for stuff like Interstellar or Dune I'm going big.

A lot of formulaic stuff in media is bullshit. So much shit is done for no other reason than because it worked once before. Primary colors are one of them. Story structure; forget the actual name of it but every story doesn't need to be arranged in that particular order of start, build up, conflict, resolution (Pulp Fiction is a great example of something that ignores this rule). And more.

It's the inverted checkmark, but Pulp Fiction is rearranged so that all the different stories fit onto the inverted checkmark at the same time

Primary colours are not made up, they are the approximate peak response frequencies of the cone cells in your retinas.

they are, it comes back when we were way more limited in paint colors… should be cyan, magenta, yellow.

Uhm... No.

It depends on you doing additive or subtractive colour mixing.

Additive mixing (e.g. light, in the form of colour LEDs or similar colour sources) must utilise RGB, due to how physics works.

Subtractive mixing (such as, printing, painting, etc.) on the other hand is better off with CMY+K for higher precision, again, for physics reasons.

ummm… yeah i know.
primary colors are from subtractive mixing, ie mixing paint… like i said.
and it originated from back when they couldn’t make a good cyan or magenta, so the color wheel had blue and red instead.
you’re supposed to be able to mix the primary colors to get any other color, but that’s bullshit unless you want it to look like a medieval painting.
additive color came a few centuries later with electricity and artificial lighting and is not relevant.

Well, Plato had some unique ideas about colors, too. He was a genius nevertheless...
