Short description of error
The MixRGB node adds as Mix node in the viewport. The name differs.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Switch to Shader editor.
Add a MixRGB node from the Add menu. Watch the title of the created node.

EDIT. Some additional information since i just noticed it, in the Compositor the same node is called Mix.

For consistency, I think this change would be useful.

After reading first few lines of Manual, present difference in name seems intended. (Read: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/shader_nodes/color/mix.html)

Confirming for now but decision to change the name is up to developers.

The name of the node will match the operation in the dropdown. If you change the operation to Lighten, for example, the node will be called Lighten. This is currently by design.
