>>148458 Red, yellow and blue are nature's way of drawing attention to something. They are meant to be clearly noticeable and recognizeble for some reason. Interestingly they can mean roughly two things: for predators they mean "don't eat me, I'm poisonous" and to frugivores they mean "eat me, I'm ripe". Since humans evolved quite recently from frugivores, we still think they are pretty colours, since we are genetically prediposed to prefer bright yellows, reds and blues.
