Question

Not just secondary colours.more colours like by mixing little,more blue and little white you get purple.In a similar way give me a website or write down the ways in which u can atleast make 12-24 colours.

Answer 1

The only problem with some paint color systems is that you cannot get magenta, clear pinks, aqua blue, and some violets from any combination of the primary colors (yellow, red, blue).

I prefer to use the following, the colors used by printing presses and professional photography printers. With these, you can create any color you see in a magazine:



Azo yellow (clean light/medium yellow without orange or green cast)

Prussian blue (cyan, a medium/deep greenish blue)

Magenta

Ivory Black

Titanium White

With these colors:

Yellow - use only Azo

Reds -  Azo and Magenta, add a little Prussian for primary red

Blues - Prussian and a little Magenta and Azo

Oranges - Azo with as much Magenta as you need

Purples - Magenta and Prussian

Greens - Azo and Prussian

Browns - Azo and Magenta with a little Prussian

Beiges - take brown and add White

Greys - Black and White, add any color to put a tint in it

Sap/Forest Green - Green with a touch of Magenta

Pinks - Magenta and White

Aqua Blue - Prussian and White

Answer 2

By mixing the primaries first, then the secondary colors! then tertiary colors, until you have enough to call a palete. Also depends on color strength as well as what type of primaries you mix. Red Yellow Blue are a starting point.

Do a search for "color wheel" on line for more information.

Answer 4

If you have the basic primary and secondary colors you can at least triple them by adding white and black. 7 times if you do intermediate and extra dark and light.

Consider the warmth or coolness of a colour, that can help the make a wider variety of colours as well

For example; say you have made a purple and you want it to look "cool" add a drop more blue.  If you want to "warm" it up add a drop of yellow.  You can make the exact same colour appear a little differant.

An example of a way you may use this is if you were doing a painting of a sunny day or a sunset you would add a bit of yellow to any of the cool colours colours and they will blend into the scene better and look more realistic.
