Hi Eugene,
there are some mistakes right in the beginning of Your problem.

Yellow and blue is not green, but white!
RGB means additive color mixing (mixing of colored light like
a monitor)
RGBColor[1,1,0] + RGBColor[0,0,1] = RGBColor[1,1,1]
What You want to do is subtractive color mixing. This is based on
yellow, magenta and cyan YMC (like an inkjet)
Yellow mixed with cyan forms green,
magenta mixed with yellow forms red,
cyan mixed with magenta forms blue.

Here is RGB working {r3,g3,b3}=({r1,g1,b1}+{r2,g2,b2})/2.
in YMC: YMC[1,1,0](red) + YMC[1,0,0](yellow) = YMC[1,.5,0](orange)
For Your first example:
YMC[1,0,0](yellow) + YMC[0,1,1](blue) = YMC[1,1,1](black!!!)
This is not what everybody would expect, because what You find in
most color boxes is not a pure blue but cyan:
YMC[1,0,0](yellow) + YMC[0,0,1](cyan) = YMC[1,0,1](green)

I don´t know if a YMC[] function is defined but I think there will be
something like this.
Hope this will help You!
