The NCS states that there are six elementary color percepts of human vision—which might coincide with the psychological primaries—as proposed by the hypothesis of color opponency: white, black, red, yellow, green, and blue. The last four are also called unique hues.

With plus the other bits we can't see at each end.

[1ozzy]

Primary colours, elementary colours and colours of the visible spectrum are three entirely different subjects.

The question/clue : Elementary.
There is only one elementary colour with six letters, Yellow.

I know this because I studied art in Elementary School.
