A human eye can see color white when all three colors red, blue, and green are in equal amounts because the mixture of these three colors yields white. Thus these are referred to as primary additive colors.
The primary subtractive colors are obtained by subtracting each of these colors from the white. Thus obtained colors when each of these is subtracted from white are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Thus the primary subtractive colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Therefore the given statement is false.
