Green IS a primary colour, as are RED and Blue. In printing we use secondary colours Magenta, Yellow, Cyan (blue-ish) to mix the colour we want by subtracting the colours we don't want to see. In light the primary colours are normally used to add together to make the colour we want. This is how a TV set works using red, green and blue mixing. Rather than going very off topic and trying to describe additive and subtractive colour mixing, skip to the "Primary Colours" section on this website, it describes it quite well and the difference between RGB and CYM colour mixing, why we need the two systems and why RYB mixing doesn't really work: www.diycalculator.com/sp-cvision.shtml |

Indeed further investiation reveals that there primary colours are quite fluid... Anyway, it's clearly Bounds Green! To start with, I was scratching my head trying to think of stations ending in Pink, Orange, and so on

I was taught red yellow and blue were primary colours. Quite so, primary colours are those that can not be created by mixing other pigments. |

There is a fair chance I've been a bit thick and mixed up my rgb with my primary colours as taught. Bit questionable given my work but onwards and upwards! The explanation for red/yellow/blue rings true to me, seems I've incorrectly prompted a rewrite of the quiz; apologies

All the answers are correct. As for #5, I was going to say "District Line color" for the 2nd part of the clue--especially if there was going to be this much confusion.  |
