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?

    RGB is for pixels that generate their own light, you add the colors together

    CMY is for reflective surfaces that keep certain parts of RBG and reflect others. You can’t work with RGB there because what is reflected is not RGB. There you subtract colors
