Subtractive color is the mixing of paints, dyes, inks, and natural colorants, etc. to create a range of colors; for example red and green pigments, being quite far apart, when mixed result in a dark browinish color depending on the actual pigments used.

Additive color is the mixing of illumination, a good example is the screen you are looking att now. There a yellow color is obtained by illuminating a green and a red sub-pixel.

Distinguish between additive and subtractive color mixing processes?

The additive color process is mixing lights while the subtractive color process is mixing paints and dyes. In the additive color process when you mix all of the main colors together: red, green, and blue: you get white(hence the name additive) while if you do the exact same thing in the subtractive color process: cyan, magenta, and yellow: you get black(hence the name subtractive because in order to get white you'd have to take away all of the colors).
