They're saying screens use RGB which has no yellow, directly.

Printing uses CMYK which can print yellow, directly.

I mean even then it depends on the lighting in the room. If you have LED lightbulbs there is still no “actually yellow” light.

Also your eyes don’t care.

A printed version of the picture will still maintain the illusion. I’ve actually seen a variant of this illusion printed in a book before.
