Nice quiz, but I don't think these are the primary colors. Green is a secondary color.

The primary colours of light are RBG. That’s why TVs use them to produce colours. The primary pigments are RBY, which is probably what you’re thinking of.

Nice. I think Smaragdine is probably the hardest. But apparently Celadon is tripping people up. I happen to know that one because it was the name of city in a video game I played as a child. :)

I’m familiar with Celadon City, but not familiar with the colour it’s named after.
