The reason this is a relatively new phenomenon is a result of the 20th century chemical industry and its ability to synthesize the ingredients for making 'primary' colours into paints. Prior to that, paints & dyes where made from a variety of animal, vegetable and mineral sources that gave a more mellow effect.
But it's still not about paints only as you seem to imagine - e.g. "i want some paints like that..." - but the ability to use them.
