I just want to point out that OP is not 100% wrong. But this isn't about which colours are the "real" primaries; it's about which ones are the best primaries to mix to get certain secondaries, and why.

The primary colours are red, yellow, and blue. If you're going to mix your own secondaries, you will need some sort of red, yellow, and blue to work with. But there are a lot of colors that are considered red, and a lot of different pigments that make all those reds. Some produce warm, opaque reds like Cadmium Red. Others produce cool, transparent reds like Quinacridone Rose. Cyan/magenta/yellow is still a red/yellow/blue primary set!

Let's look at OP’s colour lists:

Cadmium Red: Very slightly orangey red, opaque.

Quinacridone Rose: Slightly purplish red, transparent.

Lemon Yellow: Slightly greenish yellow, semi-transparent.

Hansa Yellow: Very slightly greenish yellow, semi-transparent.

Ultramarine Blue: Very slightly purplish blue, transparent.

Phthalo Blue Green: Slightly greenish blue, transparent.

All of these are valid colours to use as your primaries when painting! It all depends on what you’re going for. If you want more violet tones, Quinacridone Rose and Ultramarine Blue are both nudged slightly towards purple. And if you’re trying to make a vivid purple, they’re way better choices than Cadmium Red + Phthalo Blue. Those two are nudged towards yellow—which is the opposite of the direction you want to go. You’ll get a darker, murkier purple instead, for the same reason that straight up mixing yellow + purple gets you a muddy brown. Complementary colours (the ones directly opposite each other) do that in paint mixing; you get the same effect with red + green, or blue + orange. Hansa Yellow will be a little better at making orange than Lemon Yellow will, because it's got less of a bluish tinge to fight against the orange.

You’ll also get muddier, less vibrant colours from mixing more opaque paints. This is another reason the transparent Quinacriodone Rose is better than an opaque red for making purples that really pop. You’re already going to have to contend with how quickly blues darken the mix; you don’t need the opaqueness sucking out the vibrance too.

But sometimes you want less saturated colours. Or warmer/cooler colours. It all depends on what you're going for. Luckily, you don't actually have to pick ONE red and ONE yellow and ONE blue to use forever! That's not what primaries are about! You can use a different red to make purple than you use to make orange! The police can't stop you!

You know what, fuck it *dragon-ifies your DRDT cast*

I've been thinking abt making a flight rising AU for a bit now, but I finally got around to getting some simple sketches down and finalizing my ideas for the main cast (excluding MonoTV and a certain unnamed student).

Text is just breed, eye type, genes, and gene colors, but it's kinda disorganized and hard to read even when clicking on it, so I'll list everything below the cut.

Teruko Breed: Mirror Eye type: Earth Rare Primary: Shamrock Savannah Secondary: Umber Noxtide Tertiary: Pistachio Ghost

Eden Breed: Tundra Eye type: Earth Uncommon Primary: Cottoncandy Fade Secondary: Raspberry Seraph Tertiary: White Underbelly

Xander Breed: Guardian Eye type: Fire Primal Primary: Tomato Falcon Secondary: Rust Morph Tertiary: Black Spines

Some XYY’s with Pharoah and Firebreather. Firebreather definitely works better when it can pop out from the primary, and of course my favorites are the ones with extra colors. 

Splash/Sky    -Sunset/Grapefruit

Sapphire/Cyan   -Phthalo/Azure

Peacock/Radioactive   -Abyss/Tarnish

Mist/Pearl    -Mulberry/Cherry

For the hippojay, could I suggest flint ?something?, phthalo peregrine, and white glowtail? For the primary I'm split between leopard and bar...

thanks for the suggestion! wasn't sure what breed to use tbh since glowtail is only on three ancients and moderns. skydancers are pretty horse to me?

So here are my new seadragons. At first I wasn’t sure about the colors of the male, but Red Morph is so perfect with the Carrot primary. Also his tert is Beige (I think it might work).

The female originally has the unfortunate Jade/Wine/Brown color combo so I’ve decided to scatter them. Now they’re Phthalo/Latte/Cottoncandy and with these genes they remind me to the trans flag.
