We know that

red and blue make purple...

yellow and blue make green...

red and yellow make orange..

Yet this schemata doesn't work for frequencies of light.
Mixing blue light and green light makes yellow light.
Mix every color light together and one gets white light.
Anyway, thanks in advance

The additive colour system is used by light sources, such as televisions and computer monitors. When different proportions of red, green, and blue light enter your eye, your brain is able to interpret the different combinations as different colours.

The subtractive system is used with pigments: when white light (which is composed of red, green, and blue light) shines on coloured pigment, only some of the wavelengths of light are reflected.
