In paint
Red is one of the three traditional paint primaries, along with blue and yellow, so it can't be mixed from other colors on a classic color wheel. It's a starting point, not a result.
In light (RGB)
In light (RGB), red is also one of the three primaries computers and screens use to build every other color, alongside green and blue.
The closest you can get to "making" red is mixing magenta and yellow in a subtractive (CMYK) system, which is how most printers actually lay down red-looking areas.
