Color wheels are wrong? How color vision actually works

I must have missed something as a seven-year-old, because this is the first I've heard that blue and yellow were supposed to be opposites. To me, it always made sense that blue and orange were opposites, both conceptually and visually. The same with purple and yellow.

It's possible you're an anomalous trichromat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Anomalous_trich...

Yes I don't understand why this mistake is being made. The opposites are blue-orange, purple-yellow(easter colors), red-green(christmas colors).
