There are 2 different sets of Primary colors: Light (Red, green, and blue.) and Color (Red, yellow, and blue). In light, red and green make yellow, green and blue make cyan, and red and blue make magenta. And all of those colors mixed together makes white (but this only works with light, not paint or crayons or any of that stuff. That's what the color section of this post is for.). Those are also the colors used in color printers. Now with color, (this is pretty obvious) red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and red and blue make purple/violet. Now, indigo is made with blue and purple/violet, which doesn't really fit in with the rest. So, then they had 2 choices: add all the other colors (red-orange, sunset orange, yellow-green/green-yellow, turquoise/teal, and magenta, or they could take indigo out. So they took indigo out. That means that this topic doesn't need to be here anymore, but then again, people do like to discuss things....
