What color do you get mixing colors of spectrum?

When you mix colors of the spectrum, such as red, green, and blue, you typically create white light, as these colors are additive primary colors. However, when mixing pigments or paints, such as cyan, magenta, and yellow, you get a darker color, often resulting in black or brown, due to the subtractive color mixing process. The outcome depends on whether you're mixing light (additive) or pigments (subtractive).
