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?
paint and light are different. for light, you are adding colours in from black to make it brighter; for paint, you are adding colours from white to make it darker. thus, respectively, additive and subtractive colours.
here’s a quick and simple cheat sheet to help you out!
additive colours:
red + green = yellow
green + blue = cyan
blue + red = magenta
red + green + blue = white
subtractive colours:
cyan + magenta = blue
magenta + yellow = red
yellow + cyan = green
cyan + magenta + yellow = black
