Red, Green and Blue light makes white.

So putting dots of Cyan and Magenta next to each other will give Red.
Could you explain this?

My understanding is that putting cyan and magenta on top of each other will produce saturated blue since red and green light are absorbed by one of the pigments. Putting them next to each other gives unsaturated blue because some red and green light is reflected along with the blue.
