Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Additive color mixing involves combining different colored lights to create new colors, like the combination of blue and red to make purple. Subtractive color mixing involves removing colors from reflected light, like when mixing paint or ink on paper. Dichromatic and nonspectral color mixing are not relevant to this scenario.
