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?


Misinformation and confidently incorrect.
Print is always subtractive. Why don’t you look shit up before posting bullshit?
As opposed to the posters and paintings that shine, huh?
Wtf are you on about? Those are all like print in that they mix pigments that absorb light. That’s exactly what over_clox said. The contrast is with monitors or displays that emit light, like phones or computer screens.
They’re all subtractive in print.
The person said RGB is additive. Where in print is RGB additive?
You don’t use rgb in print.
Oh really?

Can we all just chill out and have a good [insert time of day]?
From that article:
It’s still subtractive.
Exactly. Print is always subtractive.
Yes, I said CMYK print is subtractive, did you read my comment?
You’re close to getting it. You said RGB is additive. Where in print is RGB additive?
Hey dude, is everything okay? It’s just the Internet and just a discussion about printing and colours.
Yeah, thanks for asking. You’re okay with misinformation :)?
Oh you’re a fun troll!

Quick crash course, we’re gonna ignore K for simplicity, and assume a basic RGB system. Okay, simplest conversion to CMY is…
C=1-R M=1-G Y=1-BI’m totally skipping over a lot of stuff here, but this is about the simplest conversion for example sake.
