If you really want to learn color you should get James Gurney's book Color and Light. I think you might be confusing yourself and wasting time with focusing on primary colors and tertiary colors. In reality any 3 colors that form a triangle on the traditional color wheel can be primary colors. Like yellow, cyan and magenta can be used to mix any color you want the same as using red,green and blue. I think most people would recommend you start with doing a lot of value studies before jumping to colors anyways.
