I refuse to call cyan either blue or green. It’s clearly in between.
Just like I would never call orange yellow or red.

I refuse to call cyan cyan. I just call it blue-green
primary: yellow, red, blue
secondary: green, orange
cyan: not primary nor secondary.
i hope that helps.
> cyan: not primary nor secondary.
That's incorrect.
The 3 primary colors of light are red green blue. The 3 secondary colors are yellow, cyan, and magenta.
The 3 primary colors used in printing are cyan, magenta, and yellow (why it's called CMYK where K is black).
Cyan is primary or secondary in both of the major color models.

CMY and RYB are both valid primary color sets.
RYB, being taught in grade school, has a lot of influence on how people perceive and name colors, which is what this conversation is about.
