Basic rules for mixing three primary colors
1. Mixing two by two to produce intermediate colors
Primary color mixing Intermediate colors obtained after mixing Example explanation
Red + yellow Orange (warm color system, such as persimmon orange, orange red) If the proportion of red is more, it will be reddish orange, and if the proportion of yellow is more, it will be light orange.
Yellow + blue Green (cold color system, such as grass green, dark green) Yellow is mostly light green, and blue is mostly dark green or olive green.
Blue + red Purple (neutral color, such as violet, crimson purple) Red is mostly purple-red, and blue is mostly blue-purple (similar to grape color).
2. Mixing three primary colors to produce complex colors
Red + yellow + blue: Depending on the proportion, you can get dark gray, brown and other colors (such as red is mostly ochre, and blue is mostly dark gray-brown).
Intermediate color + primary color: such as orange (red + yellow) + blue → brown-green; purple (blue + red) + yellow → olive green (similar to the color of dead leaves).
