Would this be akin to physical oil paintings or watercolor, where when you mix a bunch of different color types together, it'll eventually turn black? In that case, are there screen types that utilize subtractive color or is it all just additive?

@eugene I think it would be difficult to make a screen using subtractive color principles, since most screens (all the ones I know about, anyway) are based on light emission. Light beams are associated with additive color, since you directly increase the response of cones in the eye to added light in order to change the color that is perceived. To make a screen use subtractive color principles, you'd have to change the material of the screen instead of the brightness, which seems a lot harder. Although, one thing that comes to mind is the "E-ink" tablets like reMarkable that use some kind of technology that's about material change rather than lights, somehow. However, that's only in black and white, so still not using subtractive color. But who knows, judging from how reMarkable works, maybe it's possible to make a full-color screen in the same way!
