Well, pale blue isn't primary (although you probably knew that), but cyan is when you are talking about light. BTW teal rules.
I suggest you google "additive colors" and "subtractive colors" -- you really CAN remove colors when you're dealing with light.
Also, if I remember correctly after 30-some years, Mr. Land (who invented the polaroid, or "Land" camera), did a lot of experiments with colored light and our perception of color. In one experiment (which we saw on a 16mm film) he had a bunch of color blotches on a screen. He covered all but the brown section, then bathed the room in green light. The brown splotch looked green. Then he removed the blocks and let the other colors be viewed. The light was still green, but now the brown looked BROWN.
Color is part perception and part objective science. Weird, huh?
