Red + yellow = orange. Orange sits between red and yellow in the rainbow. It makes sense mixing them provides an “average”
Yellow + blue = green. Green sits between yellow and blue in the rainbow. Same as above.
Purple does not sit between red and blue in the rainbow. Why do they combine to make purple?

If you’ve ever taken an art class chances are you’ve seen a color wheel (https://images.app.goo.gl/ewQjHAhNbRjuGnua8) notice how purple does sit between blue and red. This is because visible light is a spectrum and loops in a sense. For example, if you take a glass prism and hold it up to a light source, with the right angle you could see the rainbow repeat itself
