  Yes, but violet light does exist in nature as higher frequency light than blue light. Violet is only a mental oddity when mixing additive primaries.

  The “too” implies men do this. Perhaps some men do, but I do not, as a cis man.

  This is true. Thanj you for the correction.

  On a spectrum of visible light, yellow has a wavelength perfectly between red and green. Therefore, combining red and green, the average wavelength is the same as the wavelength of yellow.

  Of course, because we have infinite RAM during the RAM crisis.

  It is the difference between additive mixing and subtractive mixing. When you mix colors on a screen with RGB, you add light. When you mix pigments on a physical medium, you subtract the amount of light reflected (because each paint absorbs most light except the colors it reflects, which are what you see).

  As a side note, when mixing in the subtractive color system, your primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. That’s why a printer takes CMYK, for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. In case you were wondering, ‘K’ here is black.
