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?

    Put another way, let’s say white is 100% of each red, blue and green light, and black is 0% of each. Every other color is made up of different percentages of those three.

    Your monitor is counting up from zero, you just need to add the colors you want.

    On a white canvas you need to subtract from 100.

    Cyan is basically negative red, magenta is negative green, and yellow is negative blue.
