Yes, also that the computer is a studio tool modern artists should be familiar with anyway. Especially in the case of prints and how if they wish to print their work they'll have to understand the colorspace differences. There are some idiosyncrasies so it's not 1:1 with paint mixing but you're still learning color theory. The exercises show similar effects as in the Albers book and the author references it a few times, and you make a lot of swatches which are obviously more suited to real paint.

I did some of the exercises in real life with gouache, some with RGB sliders, and some with CMYK sliders. You can do all the digital stuff with just a mouse/selection lasso and filling in, it even recommends using Illustrator. I think more artists should learn to use at least RGB sliders, it definitely helps solve the problem of making a cohesive palette. I spend more time with RGB sliders than the color picker, and I don't use CMYK for everything but it's nice to mix in the process occasionally.

Here's how he introduces the topic.
