How is white pigment made?

The existing pigments can't become true white, and white is the synthesis of all colors, but from the nature of pigments, red pigments can only reflect red light, thus absorbing other light.

According to this statement, it can be concluded that red pigment plus blue pigment plus red pigment can absorb all the light, so it becomes black. So as long as it is not white pigment, it will absorb light of other colors, so according to this theory, white cannot be mixed with pigment.

To sum up, because of its particularity, white can't be adjusted by pigment.
