Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?

As opposed to the posters and paintings that shine, huh? Wtf are you on about? Those are all like print in that they mix pigments that absorb light. That’s exactly what over_clox said. The contrast is with monitors or displays that emit light, like phones or computer screens.

They’re all subtractive in print.

The person said RGB is additive. Where in print is RGB additive?

  You don’t use rgb in print.

    From that article:
    
    Graphic screen-printing is widely used today to create mass- or large-batch produced graphics, such as posters or display stands. Full colour prints can be created by printing in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).
    
    It’s still subtractive.

    Very interesting. Doesn’t use an RGB color model though.
