Certainly true, no one had figured out electronic lights yet, I guess Newton had already shown the component spectrum of light centuries before this.
As for rgb being just how light works, I don’t think that’s true - other animals have cones different peak sensitivities to us, bees for instance have one type of cone that lets them see in the near-UV. I don’t think there’s anything preferred about rgb, they’re just the colours suited to (most) human vision
