About This Color Combination

Blue and yellow is one of the most foundational combinations in pigment color theory, producing green when mixed together. This result — impossible to predict from additive (light) mixing — is a textbook example of subtractive color mixing. More blue yields a cool teal green, while more yellow creates a bright, grassy lime.
