Here’s the standard color wheel set to Red, Blue, Yellow as primary colors.
You’ll notice that magenta is represented as almost a whole different color. It’s light red in the CMYK, light purple in RGB.
And
Cyan, baby blue, sky blue, etc. isn’t represented. Instead you get a blue-purple they call violet.
Light Red - Magenta
Light Blue - Cyan
Blue-Purple - Indigo
Light Purple - Red-Purple - Fushsia
We as a whole can’t decide what constitutes purple/violet in RGB model
Even if someone doesn’t know what a true “Indigo” looks like they are still experiencing that color for what it is. They will just call it Bluish-Purple or Purplish-Blue. And unless it really was the exact mix of 50/50 blue and purple it wouldn’t be indigo. It would be a equivalent to a Redish-Orange. A Bluish-Indigo or Purplish-Indigo.
Sorry for the walls of text I was learning and thought I might as well share.
Your language doesn’t change your perception of color.
The primary colors being Red, Yellow, Blue. Is made up. There’s no reason those should be the three primary colors.
Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan could be the primary colors if you were taught that.
In that color wheel orange is an intermediate color. The intermediate color between green and yellow can be called chartreuse.
Did you know chartreuse as a color or did you just know it as yellow-green?
Do you not preceve the color chartreuse the same as someone that just knows that name?
You can perceve all the difference colors on this wheel without needing an official word.
As you can see “Brown” is just a darker orange.
