Yep, it's the same problem, according to the article that was cut.  Red, 
green, and blue are all in the title :)  In an RGB monitor, the three
primary colors red, green, and blue are mixed to give any color. 
But, the primary colors in printing and pigments are different (cyan,
magenta, and yellow) and that is where yellow and blue (cyan) make
green.
If you read the article again, I believe it mentions somewhere that
the different chokes are labelled Rn, Gn, and Bn, where n is some
number.
