Here’s a colorful building in the Western Addition / NOPA area of San Francisco. It’s not really a church, the cross is just a telephone pole. The colours are sort of red, green and yellow, anyway.

It makes a nice complement to this nearby building.
Keep on painting, San Francisco!
[UPDATE] Some have noted that these colors aren’t actually primaries. A quick consultation with Channel One’s Sir Mix A Lot-esque Technicolor EP from 1986 confirms that techni-red, techni-blue and techni-green would be more apopro-priate.
Artist’s conception:
Finally, we have the true Church of Primary Colors. The one shown at the top is is merely a church of secondary or tertiary colors at best. So, that’s all cleared up now.
It’s in your house/
at the show/
every place that you go/
Technicolor is here, Technicolor is clear

Those are not primary colors…
The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.
I get your point about red, yellow, and blue. Let’s agree that they CAN be considered primaries. But so can orange green and violet.
Am I saying that they lied to you in elementary school?
Sort of.
“RYB (red, yellow, and blue) is a historical set of subtractive primary colors. It is primarily used in art and art education, particularly painting. It predates modern scientific color theory.”
