    Green and red do not come back yellow, it makes brown…or is there some other process they’re describing?

      There is two types of color blending, tint and light.

      Tint is what is usually taught, primaries are red, blue,yellow and we make the rest with them.

      With light however, the primaries are Red, Blue and Green. Most image editing software use light blending, so you can zoom on a pixel and use a color picker to get its RGB value. And to make yellow with light blending, you combine red and green

      Extra fun fact! Tint primaries are actually Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan.

      Red + Blue = Magenta Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan

      Magenta + Yellow = Red Magenta + Cyan = Blue Cyan + Yellow = Green
