I think "mixing" as in with paint, is a different kettle of fish to CMYK
printing where you are not mixing but relying on the eye to integrate
colours in close proximity to perform subtractive colour mixing.

(You only need look at the huge number of pigment tubes that are present
on a paint mixing machine to realise that it's not as simple as printing!)
