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?

    Colours are wavelengths of light.

    Shining light directly combines wavelengths. It is additive.

    Colored paint absorbs the wavelength and reflect only part of it. It is subtractive.
