We believe that it is best to think of color temperature not as an absolute but as a relative term. Yellow shades that are closer to orange are warmer relative to yellows that appear more green. You will be able to tell the relative temperature of your yellow colors by looking at them. If we are blending a warm blue with red in it with a warm yellow (that also contains red), we are inadvertently combining all three primary colors. Combining all three primary colors is likely to produce a secondary color that is quite muddy and closer to brown than the color we want.
You can use only two primary colors if you want to achieve a vivid secondary.
While yellow and blue are the correct answer on a general level, we need to look a little closer to control the green we produce. You will likely be surprised as to the number you have of each. If you have a growing collection of paints in your studio, try gathering all of your yellow and blue shades together. There are multiple ways of going about mixing green from these two colors. Mixing color is not as simple as grabbing the closest blue and yellow and making the perfect green. Navigating the Color Bias: Mixing with Warm and Cool Primary Colors This phenomenon is known as color bias, and it is essential to understand how it will influence your color mixing. Another example is the difference between ultramarine blue, which is closer to red, and manganese blue, which leans towards yellow hues. For example, cadmium yellow inclines towards red pigments while cadmium lemon is closer to blue. Each different shade of yellow and blue leans towards other colors. The real question we need to be asking is, “what kind of green do you want to make?” There are many different yellow and blue shades available, and depending on which ones you use, you can create an enormous number of green shades. If mixing green was as simple as that, we could stop right here. When you combine the colors opposite each other on the wheel, you will create the color between them. If you are very new to color mixing, a color mixing chart can be helpful. Starting at the very beginning, you can make a basic green color by mixing yellow and blue.
#COLOR ME GREENS HOW TO#
Do you want to know how to make neon green paint, or what colors make lime green? What two colors make green anyway? We will answer these questions and more in good time, but we need to start with the basics. There are so many questions to answer before we start mixing.
