Why do colors mix and not stay separate?

Hello! Just wondering why when I mix red and white it creates pink, instead of being red and white swirls? Same with if you mix a bunch of colors together it turns brown instead of seeing all the colors you mixed individually? Thank you!

Assuming it’s actual paint in real life: it also depends on what medium the pigment is in. Like, if you have two colours that are using a similar waterbased medium, then those two colours will mix. If you have different types of medium, the colours might not mix.
