IV is 4. IX is 9. XL is 40. XC is 90 CD is 400. CM is 900.

Is this a trick homework question? I don't believe there is a 100% truthful answer because a subtractive colour is made up of two primaries, and a primary colour is not subtractive any more than a subtractive colour is primary ("...primary subtractive colour..."). Neither can there be a "main" subtractive colour if we are to consider your use of the word "primary" in your question to mean that.
