FAQs – Colour Mixing 101

What colours do you mix to make different colours?
It all starts with your primary colours: red, blue, and yellow. Mix them to get your secondary colours: orange, green, and purple. From there, the possibilities are endless!
What is the formula for mixing paint?
There’s no one-size-fits-all formula, but a basic guide is to start with your lighter colour and slowly add in the darker colour until you reach your desired hue.
Is there an app for colour mixing?
Yes, there are several apps designed to help artists with colour mixing. While we offer physical guides, an app can be a handy digital companion for on-the-go mixing.
How do you mix paint colours at home?
Start with clean, dry brushes and a palette. Choose your base colour and slowly incorporate others, mixing thoroughly. Remember, it’s easier to darken a colour than lighten it, so tread lightly with those darker hues.
What are the 4 colour wheels?
The four main types of colour wheels are Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary, each representing different levels of colour mixing and complexity.
What is the 12 colour wheel?
The 12 colour wheel includes the three primary colours, three secondary colours, and six tertiary colours, providing a broad spectrum for mixing and matching.
What is the colour wheel explained?
The colour wheel is a visual representation of colours and their relationships to each other. It’s a fundamental tool for artists to understand colour harmony, complementary colours, and colour theory.
