The additive color process is mixing lights while the subtractive color process is mixing paints and dyes. In the additive color process when you mix all of the main colors together: red, green, and blue: you get white(hence the name additive) while if you do the exact same thing in the subtractive color process: cyan, magenta, and yellow: you get black(hence the name subtractive because in order to get white you'd have to take away all of the colors).
