I whenwent through an article on color conotationsconnotations and it did not explain why colors are grouped inas primary and secondary (soso I don't know if it is important to know the reason why)

we have:

warm color red -> orange -> yellow (red and yellow being primary colors)

cold colors green -> blue -> purple (blue being primary color)

My questions: a) Is there an important reason why these are the primary colors? b) Is their a rule on how these groups (primary and secondary) colors should be used. for example would you ever say "for this element you need a primary color) c) Would you use cold and warm colors together in a website d) how important is to know how (for example) information like blue + yellow = green

Also (might seem slightly of topic) I started experimenting with the color while and I don't get where would you chose the mono, complement, triad and so on. Can anyone direct me to a blog post which explains the reason why there are so many options to chose from; or the "good way" to use the color while

Thanks a lot
