If Blue, Red and Yellow are the primary colors then why are Blue, Red and Green (RBG) used for generating colors in computer programs?

I really tried to google this, but I didn't see clear explanations on the difference. If I google RBG then I find posts which call these the primary additive colors, with green and red making yellow. I thought maybe my primary schooling was just old and color theory had changed a bit, but if I google primary colors for art purposes like painting, then it seems that blue, red and yellow are still the primaries for, say, mixing paints.

Frenzy and Spellburst share UI icon on the cards. I know both are one-time triggered abilities so the icon must be related to that and not the keyword but maybe a color adjustment may help to differenciate them, like red sparkles for Frenzy and blue for Spellburst.

No hints because it will be too easy!

I actually have 2 so if u got 1 of them correct great job! U will get the skirt, if u got both correct, u will get 10k

Good luck! :)
