With emitted light the primary colours are additive, red, green, blue.
Actually, you're right; I misremembered that class I took 35 years ago. Magenta, yellow, and cyan is for printing with pixels. Odd that the CMYK would wind up in my brain like that, since the '70s were almost 100% analog and CYMK wouldn't have even been mentined in the class.
Damn, I need to go back to school, I've forgotten and misremembered so much.

Someone politely corrects your error, you politely acknowledge the correction.
Seems a little too friendly or something, where's all the angst, bitterness,superiority complex and gloating about pointing out someone's error...
Oh, right. Not /.

Your brain was painted pitch black. Your memories were likely eaten by a mcgrew.

I remembered where it came from. CMYK was used in lithography and other analog printing processes.
