Creating the perfect orange or pink tone can be an obstacle for someone who is new to tinting and doesn’t know where to start with color combinations. Fortunately, most colors in the spectrum can be created using a few primary colors. Besides, learning the color wheel will give you the foundation you need to create any color shade you want.
Steps
Blending quadratic colors
- If you’re using a brush, be sure to rinse it off after each color mixing. You probably don’t want to let any colors get mixed up in the two colors you’re mixing. Use soap and water to clean acrylic paint, or unscented white gasoline or turpentine to clean oil paint. [2] X Research Source
- You can mix colors in a jar instead of using a color tray if you intend to prepare the paint for later use.
- Color mixing is a skill acquired through practice and experimentation. Try mixing colors with different amounts of paint and different combinations to get used to how to mix colors. [3] X Research Sources
- You might consider buying a larger amount of base color paint over other paint colors. Large paint tubes usually have a capacity of 200ml.
- Paint quality is divided into two categories: for students and for professional painters. School products are often cheaper, but lower quality than professional painters paint when it comes to durability, color intensity, and other factors. Student paints can also alter the proportions needed to produce a particular color; Therefore, you should research carefully before buying the product. [4] X Research Sources
- Blue and yellow both have warm and cool shades. Cool-toned yellows look greenish, while warm-toned yellows look slightly orange. [5] X Research Sources
- For a brighter green, you’ll use yellow and a cool-toned blue that has a slight green tint.
- If the mixed green looks dark, it’s probably because you used a warm orange-yellow or a hot purple-blue.
- Similar to blue and yellow, red also has hot and cold shades. Warm-toned reds look a bit orange, while cool-toned reds look a bit purple. [6] X Research Source
- For a bright orange color, you would choose yellow-orange and hot-toned red-orange.
- Just like other tones, blue also has warm and cool shades. Warm blues look a bit purple, while cool tones look greenish. [7] X Research Sources
- For a bright purple color, you would combine a cool- toned red with purple undertones with a warm- toned blue with a purple tint.
- If the resulting purple looks dark, it’s probably because you used a hot red-orange or a cool-toned blue with a green tint.
- You can also lighten the paint by adding a little yellow, or add a little blue to make it darker.
- Whether black and white are primary colors is still a matter of debate. As for tinting, it’s important to remember that some shades of black can be created from other paint colors, but no color combination can produce white. [10] X Research Source
- If you don’t have a paint storage device, cover the color tray with cling film and refrigerate (or freezer if you’re storing oil paint).
- You can also place a wet towel over the paint storage tool to keep the paint’s moisture until it’s needed. [11] X Research Source
Tertiary tint
- When shopping for paint at a store, make sure you choose a standard “green”, “purple”, or “orange” color. Don’t buy colors that are mixed with other colors, such as orange red or green with blue.
- Experiment with different color ratios. Try getting more blue than purple and see what happens.
- Note that the names of ternary colors are often based on the primary color, such as “green with yellow”
- Green with yellow
- Green mixed with blue
- Purple with blue
- Red purple
- Red orange
- Yellow Orange [12] X Research Source
Mix browns, blacks, neutrals and more
- Adding a large percentage of a warm color, such as red, produces a brown with a warmer tint.
- Using a large proportion of cool colors, such as blues and greens, produces a very deep brown, almost black. [13] X Research Source
- Dark blues and browns can produce a deep black that is adjusted to a cool tone or a warm tone depending on the paint ratio.
- Note that buying a standard tube of black paint limits the mixing of that black. [14] X Research Source
- Dark colors are often easier to blend into lighter colors than vice versa. Add a little bit of the gray mixture to the white and then increase as needed.
- Use white (or yellow) to lighten the color.
- Use a complementary color of a certain color to convert the color to gray.
- To darken a color, you need to add one of the primary colors that make it up, depending on what shade you want the color to be. [16] X Research Source
Advice
- Take notes to remember how color combinations and color ratios help you create the right color.
- Simulating the color circle is an exercise to help you mix colors.
- Experiment because you never know what the outcome will be.
- Try with a small amount of color so you get used to the amount needed when mixing a particular color.
- Only wear clothes that you are not afraid of getting dirty when mixing colors.
- If you need a large amount of a certain color, you should mix more than you think is enough. Otherwise, you may be missing the color and not be able to produce the original color.
Warning
- Many paints contain hazardous metals, such as lead and cadmium; so you avoid ingesting the paint or leaving it in contact with the skin for long periods of time.
Things you need
- Paint tubes of basic colors: red, yellow and blue.
- Tubes of white and black paint.
- Clothes that you are not afraid of getting dirty.
- Coloring tray
- Paint brush
- Flying color
- Sealed vials or containers.
