Topic: Acrylic paint in the colour palette of Van Gogh

I was looking at the Tesco grocery website without being logged in, this because the store from which my grocery is delivered is not one of the largest size of Tesco stores so there is a reduced range available.

Anyway, I searched for

Kits

and then chose the checkbox for

Stationery, Arts & Crafts

and amongst the kits on offer I saw the following.

Ooh!

Oh, eight paints but one can only know what six, maybe seven, of them are!

But, there's a second picture!

Ooh ooh!

Those paints are for paint and canvas.

What about electronic art?

Can an electronic palette be made and some art produced?

I have also found the following.

Electronic art, by definition, is done on computers using computer display monitors.  Generally these displays have three colors, Red, green and blue.  All the colors (they claim millions of colors) are mixed from there using software.  I think this would be true of mixing Red, green and blue pan or tube paints as well. The big difference is that electronic mixing would be very precise and easily repeated, but an artist mixing tube paints relies on their eyes.

There's a lot to this subject, but producing art on computer monitors is certainly possible. Of course, this begs the larger question, namely, what is art?

Here's an one of my electronic images that I call art.  I did this long ago using Adobe Photoshop 6.

The other big difference is that a computer display uses emitted light, so the primary colours are (as you stated) red, green and blue. Painting and printing use reflected light, so the primary colours are cyan, magenta, and yellow. CMYK process printing uses a separate black, because mixing cyan, magenta and yellow gives you a muddy brown.
