Additional notes:

Also if you're curious why when you switch to monochrome in RGB mixer the values changes the reason is that they are set to the Rec.709 standard defining luma as consisting of approximately 21, 71, and 7% of the RGB channels respectively.
Page 2364 of the Resolve 2019 Manual
"To emulate the human eye’s sensitivity to the wavelengths of light, the Rec. 709 video standard defines an isolated Luma (Y’) component as consisting of 0.2126 of the Red channel, 0.7152 of the Green channel, and 0.0722 of the Blue channels added together. This can be seen in the default values (rounded to the nearest integer percentage) of 21, 71, and 7."
