How does mixing two or more colors create a new colour?

Basically the title. I was wondering if there’s hardcore chemistry involved in this and if not, how does colour mixing work? What is it that causes us to perceive a different colour when we mix two colours, say blue and yellow to make green?

Mixing two paints literally just jumbles up the pigment molecules so that you see two colours at once. Your brain sees both blue and yellow colours mingled in a very very fine way and sort of interprets it to get a shade of green.
