The RYB color model is fine for third graders and cosmeticians but if you want to understand how color works you need to understand RGB. And yes that goes painters too. Mixing paint is more complicated than just using a color pick on your monitor because there is a volumetric/dilutional component and the paints is rarely a pure color (i.e. red paint is 256,0,0). It is galling that their are still university level art professor who persist in RYB color wheel malarky. Nothing irritates me more than the phrase, "we are mixing paint, not color". You are mixing both!
