He said Red, Green and Blue... I thought the 3 primary colours were Red, Blue and Yellow. From the 3 primary colours, 3 secondary colours, Green, Orange and Purple could be made. Those 6 colours including white and black should be all the colours... Or am I wrong? Also how do you generate the white colour with the colour wheel (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). I might have forgotten what I learned in art class in high school.

Just look at the additive image from the projector on this site and tell me how to get Green from Red, Blue and Yellow. Color printing is closer to what you remember from art class. In printing the sum of primary colors equals Black. In displays the sum of primary colors equals White.

"..how to get Green from Red, Blue and Yellow." Maybe mixing blue and yellow?

Red Green and Blue (RGB) are the three primary colors for light emmission. Cyan (blue) Magenta (red) and Yellow (with black make up CMYK) are the three primary colors for print.
