Thoughts about Digital Color Mixing

Medium : Digital Painting
Quite a random tuto, filled with many thoughts as stated in the title. Someone raised a question in the Forum, about the mixing in Photoshop/Gimp compared to the mixing in SAI. It made me think about many things I had never thought of until now. Like is the digital mixing an additive mixing or a subtractive mixing ? Can you easily predict the result of a given mix ? What primaries should you use to mix your digital colours ? Seriously, artists, don't do scientific studies. Your brain will end as damaged as mine and you'll start to analyse and make silly theories and calculations about nearly everything ! So basically, that was part of my personnal color theory. I've thought about so much things I didn't know how to include, I'm not even sure the way I've organized it is understandable by someone other than me

In actuality, those mixes are not (the correct) arithmetic means due to the simple fact we save RGB values in a logarithmic scale, not linear. See this to learn what this means in practice.
