Consider Expansion: Chromatic Arrangement

I came across the Chromatic Arrangement entry while looking up color tropes and I noted that while it does cover the primary colors in one respect (red, blue, and green), it is also becoming common to see red, blue, and yellow color combinations among stylization in several different mediums. I set up a YKTTW for a new subtrope to encompass this (see: Primary Primary Trio), but dotchan suggested that the original trope may just need a bit of expansion. Thoughts?

I'd honestly like them on the same page but soft split. They're the same trope for the same reasons, but they're subtly different enough that it would be nice to have them in seperate sections.

I agree with a soft split.

I agree with the soft split idea. I feel like the primary colors examples would kind of naturally separate from the red, blue, and yellow examples anyway. Speaking of red, blue, and yellow, the "Weather Three" in Tentai Senshi Sunred (an anime) includes three "heroes" that each have one of those colors and are actually named, Red, Blue, and Yellow themselves.

Well, they're both sets of primary colours. Red, blue, and yellow are THE primary colours. Red, blue, green are the primary colours of light. It's got to do with how you mix colours to get other colours. People using computers more often than they're using physical mediums is the only reason that red, blue, green is getting so much more hype right now. /end Art Major.

Art majors will tell you that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors. Scientists will tell you that red, green and blue are the primary colors.

Or if you're printing the primary colours are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Basically primary colours are just the three colours that you need to mix to get all the other colours. What those colours are varies by medium.

Check the YKTTW for Favorite Color Connection its a similar idea to this, the Red Blue and Yellow Suggestion and Roy G Biv. Why discriminate?
