Red and green make brown when mixed together. This happens because red and green are complementary colors that neutralize each other, creating an earthy brown tone. The exact shade depends on the ratio and intensity of each color.
Blue is a primary color in traditional color theory, meaning it cannot be created by mixing other colors. However, in digital RGB mixing, blue is one of the three primary light colors used to create all other colors on screens.
Pink is made by mixing red and white. The more white you add, the lighter the pink becomes. Different ratios create various shades from hot pink (more red) to baby pink (more white).
Blue and yellow make green when mixed together. This is one of the fundamental secondary color combinations in color theory. Different ratios create different shades of green.
Red and blue make purple when mixed together. Depending on the ratio, you can create different shades from violet (more blue) to deep purple (equal parts) to magenta (more red).
Yes, but mixing the same color results in no change. For example, red + red = red. However, you can create variations by adding white (creating tints), black (creating shades), or gray (creating tones).
