829 - How do I mix colors to create new shades?

Imagine you're a artist, and you want to mix colors. Here's a simple rule:

  1. Primary Colors: Start with three colors: Red, Blue, and Yellow. These are called primary colors because you can't mix other colors to make them.
  2. Mixing Colors: When you mix two primary colors, you get:
  3. Red + Blue = Purple
  4. Blue + Yellow = Green
  5. Yellow + Red = Orange
  6. Secondary Colors: The colors you get from mixing primary colors are called secondary colors: Purple, Green, and Orange.
  7. Shades and Tints: To make new shades, you can:
  8. Add White to a color (make it lighter)
  9. Add Black to a color (make it darker)
  10. Add Gray to a color (make it grayer)
  11. Combining Colors: Try mixing different colors together to create new shades. For example:
  12. Blue + Red + White = Light Purple
  13. Yellow + Green + Black = Dark Brown
  14. Red + Orange + White = Light Coral

Remember, the best way to learn about colors is to experiment and have fun mixing them.
