As it turns out, you are correct for one particular color model still used by painters:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model
Quote:
Red, yellow, blue, and green are still widely considered the four psychological primary colors, though red, yellow, and blue are sometimes listed as the three psychological primaries, with black and white occasionally added as a fourth and fifth.
The cyan, magenta, and yellow primary colors associated with CMYK printing are sometimes known as "process blue", "process red", and "process yellow".

Which colors are considered primary changes across color models, and I only learned RYB and RGB when I was in school.
It seems the "process color" primaries used in printing have taken over as the new default definition for subtractive color.
Learning new things keeps your brain young. Thanks Paul!
