Description
this was made a long time ago just uploading now that I've made some more technically.
The colors on the opposite sides are complementary colors,
most color wheels are incorrect, often by inflating the number of oranges present and often entirely leaving out Magenta or Cyan, mostly, but the secondary colors like Rose also tend to not appear often.

For terminology sake, I define primary colors as RGBCYM (Or RYGCBM)
and Secondary colors as all offspring of those, so OLAAPR

The closest name for Rose and Azure are the ones I decided on and found to be the most popular but still quite if not extremely niche. Similar reasoning for Aqua, admittedly I just think the name fits and I love it and the color is also niche but can be recognized as sea green.

RGB are Additive colors while CYM are Subtractive colors.
What does that mean? The colors in range of value, or, inherent brightness, is from most bright to least bright: Yellow, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, and Blue. (If you want to include secondaries: Yellow, Lime*, Cyan, Aqua*, Orange*, Green, Magenta, Azure*, Rose*, Red, Purple*, then Blue) This is why artists often use blue as substitute for black, and this is why yellow is always associated with white and vice versa.

in a basic sense, RGB colors are additive because their mixtures are very dark, while CYM mixtures are very light.

*Due to how fluid the secondary colors and people's recognization of them are, their value changes as well, for example Orange is in front of green depending on how yellow it is, where as it can behind green depending on how red you make it. Exact hex codes below:

Primary Colors:
#FF0000 {Red} (Yellow + Magenta)
#FFFF00 {Yellow} (Red + Green)
#00FF00 {Green} (Yellow + Cyan)
#00FFFF {Cyan} (Green + Blue)
#0000FF {Blue} (Cyan + Magenta)
#FF00FF {Magenta} (Red + Blue)

Secondary Colors:
#FF8000 {Orange} (Red + Yellow)
#80FF00 {Lime} (Yellow + Green)
#00FF80 {Aqua} (Green + Cyan)
#0080FF {Azure} (Cyan + Blue)
#8000FF {Purple} (Blue + Magenta)
#FF0080 {Rose} (Magenta + Rose)
