Red, green and blue are typically used as the additive primary colors.

In
pairs, they combine to create cyan, magenta and yellow. When all three
of the additive primary colors are added together, in approximately equal
intensities, they produce white light.

When two colors overlap or are added together, their combined light
accounts for 2/3 of the spectrum. Those combinations always produce
the colors cyan, magenta and yellow. When all 3 colors overlap, the
entire spectrum is present, so we see white light.

Additive mixture is used in theatrical lighting and in computer monitors

and TV screens.

Colored spotlights are often used for stage lighting at music concerts and
plays. Colored filters are used to get the colors. Sometimes red, green
and blue spotlights are combined to get white light.
