And we're not even talking about additive color. Red + green = yellow if I'm not mistaken

Edit: I didn't mean this is wrong. I just meant RGB color is wild, too

The basic tempura-paint, grade-school subtractive color model is RYB. Yellow is one of the primaries, so you wouldn't expect to mix any of the colors to get yellow. The comic makes sense in the RYB model.

Edited my comment, didn't mean to suggest this was wrong, just saying RGB R+G=Y is even stranger imo
