like if you wanted to mix paint to get a color from a computer would you do the opposite of what the RGB value is? I’m confused

like if I wanted to take the RBG code R:99, G: 66, B, 33 wouldn’t it look more lightful than if I mixed paint into 1 part blue, 2 part green, 3 part red? how would you paint a color code?

    Thanks for asking this. I’ve always known light and paint worked on different color systems, but I never really understood the why behind it. Great answers!

      As someone who’s mostly been in the digital domain since childhood and had to learn early on about the difference, it’s one color system, it’s just that they’re doing different jobs.
