In paint

Green is a secondary color in paint, made by mixing blue and yellow together.

In light (RGB)

In light (RGB), green flips to being a primary color, one of the three (red, green, blue) that build every other color on a screen.

Green is the mirror image of yellow's situation: secondary in paint, primary in light, which is why the two systems can feel confusing side by side.
