      If you mean paint then it makes green…

      but if you mean yellow and blue light then, white… If you thiink a prism can be used to split white lightinto all the colours of the rainbow. Our eyes aren’t perfect and only detect light in the colour ranges red, green and blue. Yellow is mid way between red and green (in wavelength) so this would mean its abit of both, added with blue would give white light! If you dont believe me check this out

      Green. And if you look carefully at the link that Judith has given it is actually green light. I don’t think that’s white. 🙁
