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?

    I think the difference is one is mixing light and one is mixing colour

      I think this is not helpful, since both are “mixing colour”. I think a more apt analogy would be “shining multiple lights” vs “stacking colour filters”.
