I just checked the hex code of maroon and apparently it has literally no blue or green in it, it’s just dark red
To be fair how colors mix with light vs paints are completely different. With light, maroon is made by combining mostly red with a small amount of blue and reducing brightness—since additive mixing can’t produce true dark tones, it relies on dimming. With paint, maroon is created by mixing red with a bit of blue or black, which absorbs more light, naturally producing the dark, muted red. So in light, maroon is a dim, cool red; in paint, it’s a red with absorbed brightness and added depth.
This person colour theory-s.
computers use additive color, pigments use subtractive color.
Oh, duh. Sorry , it was late when I posted that
