In me, the primary colours I do hold
The logo is Blue, Red, Yellow (and Green) - NB: This refers to Subtractive Primary Colours (unlike those usually used in computer devices (Additive Colours))
Though two had a child who wont grow old
Green is a child of Blue and Yellow

3$\begingroup$ A note on the colors: red, green, and blue are the (additive) primary colors, and the "child" spoken of is likely yellow (which is a mix of red and green). Green can be made by a mix of non-monochromatic blues and yellows, but when dealing with monochromatic additive light (as in computer monitors), it's red+green=yellow, not blue+yellow=green. $\endgroup$– Tim S.Commented Nov 13, 2014 at 21:14

$\begingroup$ @TimS. I had no idea about that. Thank you. - I always knew primary colours to be RYB probably because of the context of natural colours - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 13, 2014 at 21:24

$\begingroup$ I remember this one from ages ago, but just realised I'd never upvoted either the answer or the OPJ! Have a +1, both of you :-) $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 16, 2015 at 21:47

$\begingroup$ I'm pretty sure that here the subtractive primaries are meant. The child who won't grow old is likely green, as 'green' is a synonym for 'young'. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 16, 2015 at 22:52

The spellchecker on Microsoft Word
"In me, the primary colours I do hold":
The spellchecker uses three colors: green for grammar errors, red for spelling errors, and blue for miscellaneous others. These are considered by some to be the primary colors.
"I amend mistakes with little regret"
Haven't we all been annoyed when it automatically, incorrectly fixes "errors"?

$\begingroup$ Although this wasnt the intended answer, I believe this also to logically fit the clues and should be considered correct also. I did not know they used the primary colours although does it utilise yellow? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 13, 2014 at 16:59

Google. It answers anyone who can connect to it, and it corrects anything that might be a mistake in your search terms. The logo contains the three primary colors, and a fourth color that is a mixture of two of them.
