CloseSome of these are intuitive and conform to realism. (R + G = Yellow; R + B = Purple.)
Others are arbitrary and random.
I do not like this combination of intuitive and counter-intuitive combinations.

Not exactly random. If you mess around with RGB values of any image editing software, you're likely to notice that you get the same result as you see up here. This is also explained by the blocks being composed of the 3 components red, green and blue, rather than conforming to "realism".
If more realism were to be applied, you'd never end up with white (which is more or less the objective). I'm aware that it is a bit unintuitive, and made this picture to help it a bit. Playing the game for a little while is also likely to make you remember what colours to combine.

It makes perfect sense. White is all colors, the goal is to make it white, and thus you must fill up each block's RGB. If it's not red, add red to get closer to white.
I don't see the issue, Max. =P

Colour Theory Ramble:
This is based on the additive colour system (IE things that add light in varying degrees to make different colours, white being R: 255 G: 255 B: 255 where 255 is the highest integer - Basically how any screen tends to work because you have to add light to get any picture).
Additive Colour
In "real life" (IE, not on a screen) we tend to use subtractive colour. In other words we will usually start with white (paper) and add darker-than-white tones in varying degrees until we reach out desired colours. This is how CMYK printing works and like... painting etc. If you add enough tones of the right amounts you'd get something analogous to black. You're taught in primary school art that the primary colours are Red, Yellow and Blue (which is pretty much Magenta, Yellow and Cyan, just those colours do a better job of making faithful recreations of on-screen colours), which works pretty much fine in a subtractive colour system as you can make pretty much anything from those but it will always get darker the more you add.
Subtractive Colour:
In short you "subtract light" IRL and "add light" on computers/TV/etc and iirc the two systems are actually negatives of each other.
