Mixing Paint

Mixing paints lets you make new colours. Mixing red and yellow makes orange, and adding white makes a colour lighter, which is called a tint.

๐Ÿ’ก Fun fact

You can make brown by mixing all three primary colours together.

All about Mixing Paint

Mixing paint lets you create new colours from a few basic ones. Mixing two primary colours makes a secondary colour, so red and yellow make orange. Adding white makes a colour lighter, and adding black makes it darker.

Start with small amounts of paint and add gradually, since it is easy to make a colour too dark. Keeping a colour chart of the mixes you make helps you remember them for later. Artists often mix colours on a palette before painting.
