I was just wondering if mixing yellow and blue really makes green.

For instance, if you mix yellow and blue paint and did a spectral
analysis, would there be two spikes at yellow and blue or one at
green?

You could try it and see! I would recommend doing a spectral analysis
of the blue paint and the yellow paint first, though, the results
might surprise you. Be careful to use a decent broad-spread light
source when doing reflectivity experiments; I have a towel that
appears green under fluorescent light, but brown in daylight. It's a
huge subject, and one that you will find fascinating.
