Light coming from the sun is a combination of all the wavelengths. We can split it with a prism into all the colors of the rainbow. Similarly we can put the primary colors of light together to get white light. We see things from the light that they reflect. If they reflect red, we see the object as red. White light has all the colors so we see the colors. If we shine blue light on an apple it looks black, no red to reflect. Black is the absence of light.
Mixing paints does not react the same. If we mix all the colors we get black. That is because paints act as absorbers of color.

I would think you'd end up with black.
