A good way to remember is that RGB on the same wire is a Composite signal whereas when they have their own cables they are sent as individual Components.
RCA is just the connector, composite video is all the video signal chucked into one cable - component video splits it out into the colour components (getting the signal to that early HD level)
This is RCA. Wasn’t composite early HD with RBG-RW?
You’re thinking of component. The two are (or were) frequently mixed up.
Yep, you’re right! Ah the memories.

Composite is Red, White(Sometimes black) and Yellow.
The best way to remember is Composite rhymes with shit.
