<p>Are you a fan of cool colors? For us, blues and greens are all-time favorites because of their tranquil effects. Especially blue, since it reminds us of the open bright sky and the vast ocean. And that is exactly what the azure blue hue looks like. But while we know about blue, which is a primary color - what makes the azure hue different? And how can we create this stunning color via color mixing? Here’s the answer!</p>
<p><strong>Azure is a blue hue that consists of blue and white, with a tinge of purple in it. In appearance, it looks brighter than blue and similar to cyan. It could be made easily by mixing green and blue to create cyan, and by adding a hint of purple in it.</strong></p>
<h2 id="what-type-of-color-is-azure">What type of color is azure?</h2>
<p class="q1">Azure is a blue hue that looks very deep and has tranquil effects.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-azure/azure-color.jpg" alt="Azure blue" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong> Azure is a bluish color that is primarily a mix of blue and cyan, with a hint of purple.</strong></p>
<p>By that definition, azure is a tertiary color. A color is known as tertiary if it is a mix of one primary color and one secondary color. However, it is a variant of blue and therefore, by nature, its cool and relaxing to the eyes.</p>
<p>On the other hand, cyan actually has a hint of green. And green is a secondary color made up of the two primary colors blue and yellow. Therefore, azure has yellow in it, although neither yellow or purple are apparent because the ywllos is blended well into the green and the purple is almost only optional to mix into it.</p>
<h2 id="the-3-approaches-to-create-azure-by-color-mixing">The 3 Approaches to Create Azure by Color Mixing</h2>
<p class="q1">Since azure is a hue of a primary color, the main color you would be needing is blue.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-azure/blues-yellow.jpg" alt="Bottles of yellow, blue, green, and black" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<h3 id="1-mix-blue-and-green">1. Mix blue and green</h3>
<p class="q1">While azure looks like a blue, it has a tinge of green in it.</p>
<p>Mixing blue and green creates a cyan tone. If you add more blue to it, you will get a color that is close to azure. It’s best to opt for blue-violet, since it has an undertone of purple in it.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">create your own green</p>
<p class="w1">Green is a secondary color. It is a mix of yellow and blue, so if you don't use green directly in the mix, you will have control over the amount of yellow and blue that goes into creating azure.</p>
<h3 id="2-mixing-red-and-blue-to-get-a-purple">2. Mixing red and blue to get a purple</h3>
<p class="q1">How about creating your own purple?</p>
<p>Since azure also has a hint of purple in it, you could create such a hue on your own. Creating purple will give you the freedom and control over how much red and blue goes into the mix. You can also use this step of mixing your own purple if you want an azure hue with a red tint to it.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">the purple is barely visible</p>
<p class="w1">The main azure hue looks bright blue, with hardly any purple visible. Although experts claim that azure has violet undertones, the color is barely visible. So if you're new to color mixing, you can skip adding purple altogether.</p>
<h3 id="3-mix-yellow-directly-into-blue">3. Mix yellow directly into blue</h3>
<p class="q1">If you don't want to add green directly, mix your own green hue.</p>
<p>To get a wider range of hues, you can vary the proportions of blue and yellow every time you mix.</p>
<h2 id="making-adjustments-to-get-the-right-azure-hue">Making adjustments to get the right Azure hue</h2>
<p class="q1">You can always adjust the temperature and brightness of azure.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-azure/azure-paint-hand.jpg" alt="Azure blue paint on hands" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>What if you want to make the azure hue look warmer or cooler? And what if you want to make it look brighter or darker? Well, you can make these adjustments easily once you’re done with the color mixing part.</p>
<h3 id="1-adjusting-the-color-temperature-of-azure">1. Adjusting the color temperature of Azure</h3>
<p class="q1">If you wish, you can make the azure color appear warmer!</p>
<p><strong>By adding more yellow to the azure mix, it will appear warmer.</strong></p>
<p> Azure is made up of blue and green. If we think about green, it is a mix of yellow and blue. Where blue is a cool color, and yellow is a warm color. So according to the color theory, if you add more yellow to the mix, you’ll end up with a warmer azure and if you add more blue to the mix, the azure will get cooler.</p>
<p class="w3">Point to remember</p>
<p class="w2">adding more yellow</p>
<p class="w1">By adding more yellow, the azure color would lean towards looking like green. So it's best to keep the amount as little as you can while color mixing. Keeping it subtle will allow the for change in temperature while maintaining the color.</p>
<h3 id="2-adjusting-the-tonal-value-of-azure">2. Adjusting the tonal value of azure </h3>
<p class="q1">Deeper and darker azure tones reflect the depth of the oceans.</p>
<p>Do you want a deeper and darker azure? Simply add some black to it and if that sounds too intense, you can just add some grey to the mix and get a mid-range value for azure color. Alternatively, you could also use complementary colors to create a dark azure color. </p>
<p>On the other hand, you can simply add white to create a brighter and lighter azure, that is, a ‘tint’ of it.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">using complementary colors</p>
<p class="w1">If your azure has more blue in it, you can add orange (the complementary color of blue) to create a darker shade. If it has more yellow in it, you can add purple (the complementary color of yellow) to create a darker shade.</p>
<h2 id="making-azure-across-different-painting-media">Making Azure across different painting media</h2>
<p class="q1">The texture of painting media is different, so color mixing can vary too!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-azure/azure-hands.jpg" alt="Azure, or blue-green paint on hands" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Let’s go through creating azure in some of the most common painting media.</p>
<h3 id="mixing-azure-in-acrylic-paints">Mixing azure in acrylic paints</h3>
<p>The blue color available in the most basic acrylic paint kit is bright. To make an azure color directly, you can simply add some bright yellow to it. But it’s better to have a green separately because acrylic paints dry very fast and thus, you need to be super fast with the color mixing.</p>
<h3 id="mixing-azure-in-oil-paints">Mixing azure in oil paints</h3>
<p>Blending in oil paints is relatively easier, compared to oil paints. So you can mix the blue and green directly on the surface. Another way to create azure in oil paints is to mix blue and yellow on the surface and get a variety of blues and greens for an illusionary effect. But if you want to get only the perfect azure, we recommend you mix the colors on a palette instead.</p>
<h3 id="mixing-azure-in-watercolor-paints">Mixing azure in watercolor paints</h3>
<p><em>**</em> Some of the most common blue hues in a watercolor paint set are cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, and prussian blue. If you have a blue-green in your watercolor palette, you can simply add any bright blue color to the blue-green hue to get azure by color mixing.</p>
<p>If you want to give a shot at drawing instead of painting, we highly recommend getting this set of pastels!</p>

<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>And so, azure is a shade of blue. It may also have a purple or violet undertone, however it is not apparent. So when you’re creating azure, you can simple mix blue and green together. If you don’t have a green directly, you can create your own by mixing blue and yellow. To alter the color temperature of azure, you can add more yellow to the green you’re adding to the mix. Another way to do this is to add more yellow directly to the blue to get a blue-green first, and then add blue to the mix to make the azure hue bright. Since azure is blue in nature, it evokes feelings of tranquility.</p>

<p>Pink is a soft and warm color that evokes romantic and playful feelings. It’s one of those colors that can create a warm and cozy feeling in any painting or drawing. But let’s say you don’t have pink color available directly to you. And even if you do have it, you want more variety. So how can you create multiple hues of pink? It’s quite simple really, all you need are three approaches.</p>
<p><strong>Pink can be created by mixing red with white only. The resulting pink hue can be made lighter or darker by adding more white or even black to the mix. The color temperature can also be changed slightly by adding a tinge of any other cool or warm color to the resulting pink.</strong></p>
<h2 id="what-type-of-color-is-pink">What type of color is pink?</h2>
<p class="q1">The most basic way to get pink is by mixing red with white.</p>
<p><strong>Pink is a warm color that is basically a tint of red.</strong></p>
<p>Here’s a quick definition of tones, tints and shades to help you out.</p>
<p><strong>Tints:</strong> When you mix white with any color, you get a brighter hue. This resulting color is known as the ‘tint’ of the original color you mixed with white.</p>
<p><strong>Tones:</strong> When you mix grey with any color, you get a slightly duller hue. This resulting color is known as the ‘tone’ of the original color mixed with grey.</p>
<p><strong>Shades:</strong> When you mix black with any color, you get an extremely dark hue. This resulting color is known as the ‘shade’ of the original color mixed with black.</p>
<h2 id="the-3-approaches-to-making-pink-color">The 3 Approaches to Making Pink Color</h2>
<h3 id="1-mixing-red-and-white-to-make-pink">1. Mixing red and white to make pink</h3>
<p class="q1">Use equal parts of red and white to get the most basic pink hue.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-pink/red-white-paint.jpg" alt="Blobs of white and red paint" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Pink is created by taking the primary color red and mixing it with white. </strong></p>
<p>By adding more red to the mix, the pink will become brighter. Moreover, some red hues are inherently deeper than the others. You can also try out other red hues than basic red. Alizarin crimson or scarlet red are two other popular hues that can give you a different kind of pink.</p>
<h3 id="2-mixing-other-colors-to-create-warmer-or-cooler-pinks">2. Mixing other colors to create warmer or cooler pinks</h3>
<p class="q1">Adjust the color temperature of pink!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-pink/pink-stroke-hues.jpg" alt="Strokes of light and dark pink" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Once you’ve got the basic pink color by mixing red and white, you can adjust the color temperature. Although pink is warm, you can make it slightly cooler by using one of the many cool colors on the color wheel. Some of the cool colors you can use to create cool pinks are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Blue</li>
<li>Blue-violet</li>
<li>Blue-green</li>
</ol>
<p>On the other hand, you can create a range of pink hues by mixing other warm colors too:</p>
<ol>
<li>Red-orange</li>
<li>Yellow-orange</li>
<li>Yelllow-green</li>
</ol>
<p>You don’t necessarily need to use the above colors for creating pink hues. These are just some examples! For instance, you could mix violet to get a lavender-like pink.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">keep the hint of color little</p>
<p class="w1">Whenever you're adding another color to tint a pink hue, it's best to keep the amount little. If not, the mixed color could completely deviate from pink.</p>
<h3 id="3-creating-light-tints-and-dark-shades-of-pink">3. Creating light tints and dark shades of pink</h3>
<p class="q1">You can create bright and dark pink hues very easily!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-pink/pink-fluid-texture.jpg" alt="Smoky pink texture" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Pink hues can look different depending on whether they’re light, mid-toned or dark. </strong></p>
<p>Pink already has some amount of white in it. If you add more white to the mix, you will get lighter versions of pink. This could create pastel pink hues or even pinks that appear very bright.</p>
<p>However, creating tints, tones, and shades may be very different across various painting media.</p>
<h2 id="making-pink-across-different-painting-media">Making pink across different painting media</h2>
<p class="q1">The texture of various painting media can make creating pink look different.</p>

<h3 id="mixing-pink-in-watercolor-paints">Mixing pink in watercolor paints</h3>
<p>You have many choices to create pink in watercolor paints. You can directly use it off the pan, or simply pick a red shade and dilute it with water until it becomes extremely light and playful as pink. Although, it would still appear much closer to red than to pink. </p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">mix with white</p>
<p class="w1">Many watercolor paint kits and palettes feature a white color. Use this to mix it with a red when you want to get a pink color but you don't want to lose the opacity of the resulting color.</p>
<p>Don’t have a watercolor paint palette with white? No problem, get this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winsor-Newton-Cotman-Colour-Painting/dp/B000PD3LYO?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">24-color palette from Winsor & Newton</a> .</p>

<h3 id="mixing-pink-in-acrylic-paints">Mixing pink in acrylic paints</h3>
<p>Depending on the type of acrylic paint you have, the texture may be thin or thick. Heavy-bodied acrylic paints have dense and thick texture. While the type of acrylic paint doesn’t matter, you need to keep in mind that acrylics dry very fast. So if you mix red with white very slowly, or you’re unsure about the pink hue you want and wish to experiment, get an acrylic retarder instead.</p>
<p>If you don’t already have a retarder for acrylic paints, we would highly recommend getting <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Liquitex-126704-Professional-Slow-Dri-Retarder/dp/B004M559I2?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">this one from Liquitex</a> .</p>

<h3 id="mixing-pink-in-oil-paints">Mixing pink in oil paints</h3>
<p>Getting multiple hues in oil paints is easy. Since they’re easier to blend compared to acrylic paints, you could even apply red and white directly on the surface and mix it there to get a range of hues. If you want many pink hues in one painting, you can just add a tinge of any other warm or cool color to get a much wider range of pinks in one go.</p>
<h2 id="fun-facts-about-pink-color-psychology">Fun Facts about Pink: Color Psychology</h2>
<p class="q1">The soft, playful and feminine pink can warm up any space and anybody's mood!</p>
<p>Since pink is a tint of red and not the primary color itself, you can expect it to have different effects. Remember that some pink hues could create a softer feeling compared to others. For instance, if you make a pastel pink, it would be feel softer and more innocent on the mind, compared to hot pink which is more bold and outrageous. Nonetheless, all the hues of pink share some common qualities and effects. Here are a few positive and negative traits of pink you need to keep in mind! </p>

<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So making pink color is very straightforward. The easiest way is to mix red with white, as pink is a tint of red. Tint means any color that is mixed with white. But you can always go lighter and darker with pink too! Just add grey to get mid-range values and add black to the resulting pink color to get dark pink shades. The third approach to getting the right pink color is to also have a look at its color temperature. While pink is a warm color, you can add a tinge of any other color to get other pink hues that closely lean toward lavender, or even hot pink, for example. </p>

<p>Do you like to try different types of paint? A sort of paint that literally stands out from the rest? If that sounds like you, then we’re sure you would love to learn about glow-in-the-dark paints. When we tried them out for the first time, we were fascinated at how well they glowed in the darkness. But the real question is, how long do glow-in-the-dark paints last?</p>
<p><strong>When used properly with preparation, glow-in-the-dark paints can last anywhere between 10 to 12 years on walls. However, the daily glowing time varies from one brand to another. Using a primer and sealer can also improve durability on surfaces, except for the skin. Unused paint cans can last for around 3 years.</strong></p>
<p>Before we move on to some of the best glow-in-the-dark paints available out there, here are some basic things you need to know.</p>
<h2 id="what-are-the-types-of-glow-in-the-dark-paint">What are the types of glow-in-the-dark paint?</h2>
<p class="q1">There are two types of glow-in-the-dark paint!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/how-long-does-glow-in-the-dark-paint-last/glow-face.jpg" alt="Glow in the dark paint on face" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>In glow-in-the-dark paints, the two main types are: fluorescent and phosphorescent.</strong></p>
<p>Whether you’re buying fluorescent paint or phosphorescent paint, both will be luminous in the dark. The only difference between these two is that fluorescent glows only when you project black light on it. So don’t expect fluorescent glow-in-the-dark paints to illuminate on their own!</p>
<h3 id="what-is-phosphorescent-paint-good-for">What is phosphorescent paint good for?</h3>
<p>Phosphorescent paints are the type of glow-in-the-dark paints you need if you don’t want to involve black light in the process. These paints are perfect for exteriors, as the phosphors require a bit of sunlight to charge up for glowing later.</p>
<p class="w3">Point to remember</p>
<p class="w2">glow timings</p>
<p class="w1">Whatever type of paint you use, the glow timing will be limited. Don't expect the paint to glow during the daylight, maybe just a bit if the room is slightly dark.</p>
<h2 id="how-does-glow-in-the-dark-paint-work">How does glow-in-the-dark paint work?</h2>
<p class="q1">A few chemicals work behind the scenes to make the paint glow!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/how-long-does-glow-in-the-dark-paint-last/glow-faces.jpg" alt="Glow in the dark paint on two faces" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Phosphors are the main mineral elements found in the earth and the driving source behind the luminosity of glow-in-the-dark paints. They are ground before being combined with a particular paint medium. </strong></p>
<p>The chemicals that are derived to make glow-in-the-dark paint are very limited in colors. So usually, these are the main colors you’ll find in these paints:</p>
<ol>
<li>Blue</li>
<li>Green</li>
<li>Yellow</li>
</ol>
<p>Other colors can be made too but since the process to create them is longer, they end up being more expensive than the above basic colors. So if you’re getting any other color, you’ll have to get it in greater quantity for the glow to be sufficient.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">apply multiple coats</p>
<p class="w1">With just one coat of glow-in-the-dark paint, the durability and intensity would be lesser. If you want to make the glow more intense, apply several coats. This is especially true in the case of colors that don't have finely ground pigment.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-make-glow-in-the-dark-paint-last-longer">How to make Glow in the Dark Paint last longer?</h2>
<p class="q1">Like all other paints, before using the material, it's best to prime the surface.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/how-long-does-glow-in-the-dark-paint-last/glow-in-the-dark-face.jpg" alt="A boy with glow-in-the-dark paints on his face and arms" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Prime any surface before applying glow-in-the-dark paint on it. Moreover, sealing the paint can protect the paint from harsh weather conditions and getting rubbed off.</strong></p>
<p>The primer you use will depend on the kind of glow-in-the-dark paint you have. So if you’re using acrylic glow-in-the-dark paints, you will need to use a primer with the acrylic ground. Some acrylic primers work even for oil paints, however, finding glow-in-the-dark paints in oil paints can be very difficult.</p>
<p>To keep things simple, we would recommend you get <a href="https://www.amazon.com/DecoArt-DS17-9-Dads17-9-Purpose-Primer/dp/B000YQJQ82?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">this two-in-one primer and sealer</a> from Deco Art. To use this product, you can mix it with equal parts of paint for efficiently sealing and priming your painting.</p>

<p class="w3">Point to remember</p>
<p class="w2">overexposure to sunlight</p>
<p class="w1">You will need to protect your glow-in-the-dark painting if it's outdoors. The phosphors lose their glowing ability and charging is also affected if they're exposed to too much sunlight. At most, around 3 to 4 hours of sunlight is sufficient for the paints to glow in the dark daily.</p>
<h2 id="data-chart-the-best-glow-in-the-dark-paints">Data Chart: The best Glow-in-the-dark Paints</h2>
<p class="q1">Glow-in-the-dark paints vary according to their texture and the surface they're designed for.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/how-long-does-glow-in-the-dark-paint-last/greenish-glow.jpg" alt="A person with shimmery green and red texture on body" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>The glowing time for every day usually depends on the brand. The lights that glow-in-the-dark paints are able to receive will also charge up the paint. Some paint pigments are charged by UV light, while others require blacklight.</strong></p>
<p>So while there are many factors that affect the luminosity time for glow-in-the-dark paints, some paint brands stand out from the rest.</p>
<p>Here are the top 5 brands that we highly recommend for all your glow-in-the-dark painting projects on various surfaces.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Brand</th>
<th>Surfaces</th>
<th>Glowing Time/Duration</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Glomania Invisible Neutral Acrylic Paint Set</td>
<td>Walls: Interior & Exterior</td>
<td>Invisible paint, begins to glow during dark times, so duration varies. Long-term glow lifespan lasts for around 10 years</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PEBEO Phosphorescent Gel Studio Acrylic Paints</td>
<td>Multiple surfaces like wood, glass, metal, etc</td>
<td>Between 10 to 15 hours, more glowing time depending on the thickness of the paint</td>

<td>Up to 12 hours </td>
</tr>

<td>Up to 8 hours</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Neon Nights Fluorescent UV Body Paint </td>
<td>Skin, safe to apply on any part of the body</td>
<td>Until washed off</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>All the above paints are UV light based. So they would need a bit of charging from UV sources for the glow to properly work. Now let’s have a look at each of the glow-in-the-dark paint brand separately.</p>
<h3 id="1-glomania-invisible-neutral-acrylic-paint-set">1. Glomania Invisible Neutral Acrylic Paint Set</h3>
<p>This wonderful fluorescent glow-in-the-dark paint set is very special. In this range of glow-in-the-dark paints, you can easily get the following colors:</p>
<ol>
<li>White</li>
<li>Red</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>Yellow</li>
<li>Blue</li>
<li>Green</li>
</ol>
<p>It has the longest lifespan of around 10 years. Thus, this set is best for classic glow-in-the-dark works, especially on the walls.</p>
<h3 id="2-pebeo-phosphorescent-gel-studio-acrylic-paints">2. PEBEO Phosphorescent Gel Studio Acrylic Paints</h3>
<p>The PEBEO phosphorescent gel studio acrylic paints are available in a variety of colors. They can be used for both exterior and interior works. So if you’re planning a colorful glow-in-the-dark mural painting outdoors, these acrylic paints are the best range. The glow can last for many hours, even when exposed to a bit of light.</p>
<h3 id="3-neon-nights-neon-acrylic-colors">3. Neon Nights Neon Acrylic Colors</h3>
<p>Neon acrylic paint gives fluorescent effects. When charged properly, these paints last for around 12 hours. In fact, since these paints are neon, you can get a glowing effect even while it’s exposed to some light.</p>
<p>Below are the colors you can get in these awesome neon nights acrylic paint range:</p>
<ol>
<li>Red</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>Yellow</li>
<li>Green</li>
<li>Purple</li>
<li>Blue</li>
<li>White</li>
<li>Pink</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="4-rust-oleum-specialty-spray-paint">4. Rust-Oleum Specialty Spray Paint</h3>
<p>By using these spray glow-in-the-dark paints, you can easily cover super large areas. It’s good if you want the surface to glow entirely, or you want to use stencils and spray over the paint. </p>
<p>The only downside is that this spray paint is only available in green color. And moreover, the phosphors for this paint take a lot of time to charge, in return only giving around 8 hours of daily glow. So use it only if you have a big monochromatic glow-in-the-dark painting project at hand. </p>
<h3 id="5-neon-nights-fluorescent-uv-body-paint-set">5. Neon Nights Fluorescent UV Body Paint Set</h3>
<p>Do you love to paint on the skin? Glow-in-the-dark paints for the body are available for people who love to experiment with their skin. They are even good for preparing for entertainment-related performances. You can get the following colors in this body paint:</p>
<ol>
<li>Orange</li>

<li>Blue</li>
<li>Red</li>
<li>Green</li>
</ol>
<p class="w3">WARNING!</p>
<p class="w2">applying glow-in-the-dark paint on skin</p>
<p class="w1">Not all glow-in-the-dark paint is safe to use on the skin. You must choose the paint brand according to the surface you have - fabric, wood, skin, etc.</p>
<p>If you’re just getting started with glow-in-the-dark painting, we would recommend purchasing glowing acrylic paints.

<h2 id="tips-to-consider-while-using-glow-in-the-dark-paint">Tips to consider while using glow-in-the-dark paint</h2>
<p class="q1">With proper use, care, and retouching, your glow-in-the-dark painting can last long.</p>
<p>So the glow-in-the-dark brand you choose will depend on the surface you have. You will also need to consider the available light sources, as well as </p>
<ol>
<li>Perform a small test of a particular glow-in-the-dark paint to see how long it lasts.</li>
<li>For intricate designs, it’s best to use stencils to not block out. You can either use brushes to fill in the stencils with paint, or you can use a small spray instead.</li>
<li>Use giant brushes or rollers for large surface areas like painting on walls - be it indoors or outdoors.</li>
<li>Use a UV-based light or black light while you’re painting, so that you can clearly see the strokes.</li>
</ol>
<p>For painting on large surface areas and walls, we recommend you get this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Master-Paint-Brush/dp/B08DRK99J7?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">4-inch brush</a> .</p>

<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So glow-in-the-dark paints can last anywhere between 10 to 20 years. Besides the brand of the paint, you’ll also need to consider whether you’ve primed the surface before painting or not. The paint will last longer on a well-prepared surface and if you seal your glow-in-the-dark painting after it’s finished, then all the better! most brands will glow for around 8 to 12 hours daily. The surface that you choose for your glow-in-the-dark painting also matters. If you’re applying the paint on skin, it may not last as long as it does on other rigid surfaces such as walls and fabric.</p>

<p>Metallic colors are used for adding a bit of glamor and shine to any art, design, or craft project. While silver, gold, and bronze are three of the most common metallic colors, you can get many mixed hues such as rose gold, etc. When we first started experimenting with color mixing, we wanted to create our own metallic paint. So we decided to keep things simple in the beginning and start with making silver.</p>
<p><strong>Silver is a metallic color that can be created by using grey. To get grey, three approaches can be followed: mixing black with white, mixing two complementary colors, or mixing red, yellow and blue together.</strong></p>
<h2 id="what-type-of-color-is-silver">What type of color is silver?</h2>
<p class="q1">Silver resembles grey in the way it looks!</p>
<p>Although grey doesn’t shine, it is a neutral color that has the same appearance as silver. And since neutral colors don’t appear on the color wheel, you have to mix them using the primary colors red, yellow, and blue.</p>
<p>Grey is one of the neutral colors, and you can use it to mix with other colors to create mid-range values.</p>
<h2 id="the-3-approaches-to-create-silver-by-color-mixing">The 3 Approaches to Create Silver by Color Mixing</h2>
<p class="q1">Color mixing is all about handling the proportions well.</p>
<p>To get silver, you will have to make grey first. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the color wheel, don’t worry. Just follow the steps below in order and you’ll get the most perfect silver color ever after mixing a grey hue!</p>
<h3 id="1-create-grey-by-mixing-black-and-white">1. Create grey by mixing black and white</h3>
<p class="q1">Black, white, complementary colors - you can create grey in many ways.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-silver/black-and-white.jpg" alt="Texture of black and white paint" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Mixing equal parts black and white will always result in a grey.</strong></p>
<p>While black is the darkest, you can always play around with white beforehand. For instance, you can use cream white instead of pure white. You can also choose to use titanium white instead of zinc white.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">adjust the tonal values</p>
<p class="w1">It's very easy to go lighter or darker using white and black. If you want a brighter and lighter grey, add more white. But if you want a darker grey, simply add more black!</p>
<h3 id="2-use-complementary-colors-to-get-grey">2. Use complementary colors to get grey</h3>
<p class="q1">Mix two opposite colors on the color wheel.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-silver/grey-texture.jpg" alt="Grey smoky texture" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Any two colors that are opposite to each other on the color wheel are known as complementary. When two complementary colors are mixed together, they create a neutral color like brown or grey, depending on the proportions of each color used.</strong></p>
<p>Keeping that definition in mind, here are a few complementary colors to consider from the color wheel:</p>
<ol>
<li>Red and Green</li>
<li>Blue and Orange</li>
<li>Yellow and Purple</li>
</ol>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">maintain the proportions</p>
<p class="w1">For instance, if you add more yellow to the yellow-purple mix, it would be closer to brown. Similarly, adding more purple could make it violet so balance is key when creating grey using complementary colors!</p>
<h3 id="3-mix-all-three-primary-colors-red-blue-and-yellow-to-create-grey">3. Mix all three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) to create grey</h3>
<p class="q1">Red, yellow and blue - Mix all three to get a well-balanced grey!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-silver/red-yellow-blue.jpg" alt="Red, yellow and blue paint combined to make grey" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>All the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) can be combined to create a neutral brown or grey.</strong></p>
<p>When mixed in equal proportions, the primary colors can also give you black, which you can then mix with white to get grey.</p>
<h2 id="tuning-the-grey">Tuning the Grey</h2>
<p>You can use any of the above three approaches to get a grey color. But after that, you can also make the grey color warmer or cooler and lighter or darker. </p>
<h3 id="1-adjusting-the-color-temperature-of-grey">1. Adjusting the color temperature of Grey</h3>
<p class="q1">You can make the silver color by cool or grey.</p>
<p><strong>The simplest way to create grey is by mixing black and white. However, to control the color temperature of grey, it is necessary to handle the proportion of blue and red or yellow.</strong></p>
<p>Red and yellow are warm colors. So if you increase the proportion of these two in your grey mix, you will end up with a <strong>warm grey</strong> .</p>
<p>Blue is a cool color. So if you have more blue compared to yellow and red, the grey you get will be a <strong>cool grey</strong> .</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">adjust the grey tone</p>
<p class="w1">You can always make the grey lighter or darker. By adding black to grey, the mix would become a shade and you could go as dark as you want. Mix white if you want to go lighter and get a 'tint' for your grey color. </p>
<h3 id="2-adding-the-metallic-touch-of-silver-to-grey">2. Adding the metallic touch of silver to grey</h3>
<p class="q1">Silver is a metallic color, so you need to add some shine to it!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-colors-make-silver/silver-texture.jpg" alt="The texture of shiny silver particles" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Once you have your desired grey, it’s time for the final touch. You would need to add some shimmer or shine, otherwise, you can’t call the color silver - it would just be a plain grey! </p>
<p>So you would need to add a bit of silver metallic powder or pigment.</p>
<p>If you don’t already have silver metallic powder, we highly recommend getting<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jacquard-Powder-Pigments-Assorted-Metallic/dp/B0042SWXUG?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank"> this set</a> . It has an amazing shade of antique silver you don’t want to miss out on!</p>

<p><em>**</em> Creating silver could get tricky with watercolor paints. To improve the consistency, artists even add gum arabic or a bit of honey to handmade watercolor paints. Ultramarine and french sienna are usually the two colors available in almost every watercolor set. Mixing these two hues creates a warm grey color which can serve as an excellent base for silver watercolor paint.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">add silver ink</p>
<p class="w1">Silver is also available as watercolor or acrylic ink. If you want to tint any watercolor hue with silver, you can mix a few drops of watercolor paint with a particular color.</p>

<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So silver is a metallic color that you can create all by yourself! But before you can get to the stage of metallic silver paint, you would need to create grey. There are three approaches to making your own grey color: mixing black and white, mixing two complementary colors, and mixing the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. You can also adjust the color temperature of the grey as well as its tonal values (brightness or darkness). Once you have the grey color you desire, you would need to add metallic powder or silver pigment into the mix and you’re good to go with your very own silver paint!</p>

Absolutely Stunning!2021-10-31T00:00:00+00:002021-10-31T00:00:00+00:00https://www.drawingwars.com/what-does-green-and-purple-make<h2 id="green-and-purple-an-introduction">Green and Purple: An Introduction</h2>
<p>Whenever we think of nature, perhaps green is the first color to cross our minds! And if we consider purple, it may not be as common as green in the outside world, but it is a favorite of many. We love it too, because it is a balance of red and blue - two primary colors that are warm and cool respectively. So what do these wonderful colors green and purple make when they are mixed? Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about this unique mix!</p>
<p><strong>Mixing green and purple would give a greenish brown or a muddy grey. Since these are neutral colors, they could be used to mix with other colors to create tones.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-the-color-wheel-and-color-theory">1. Understanding the Color Wheel and Color Theory</h2>
<p class="q1">Whether grey or brown, neutral colors don't appear on the color wheel.</p>
<p>Green is a <strong>secondary color</strong> because it is created by mixing yellow and blue. Purple is also a secondary color that is mixed by bringing red and blue together. So when all three <pseudo-elem>**primary colors**</pseudo-elem> are brought together, they result in a <pseudo-elem>**neutral color**</pseudo-elem>.</p>
<p>Now depending on the proportions of the primary colors in green and purple, the resulting hue could be either brown or muddy grey.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-purple-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="The color wheel featuring warm and cool colors" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<h2 id="2-how-to-create-multiple-hues-of-grey-and-brown">2. How to create multiple hues of grey and brown?</h2>
<p class="q1">Play around with the proportions of green and purple while mixing!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-purple-make/green-purple.jpg" alt="Green and purple paint on a wall" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>When mixing green and purple, you need to be sure about the hues you’re using. The main thing is color temperature because if you’re using warm greens and purples, the resulting brown or grey would be warm too. It all depends on the kind of neutral hue you’d like to get by mixing green and purple.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-green-to-the-mix">What happens if you add more green to the mix?</h3>
<p>The green you use could either be cool or warm. Since green is a mix of yellow and blue, a warm green would have more yellow mixed into it. Whereas a cool green would have blue mixed into it.</p>
<p>Some of the most common green hues are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sap green</li>
<li>Viridian green</li>

<p><strong>Although both brown and grey are neutral colors, they have different effects on the mind. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Brown:</strong> It’s one of the most common colors in the natural world. Hence, it promotes security, wisdom, simplicity, support, honesty, appreciation and harmony. But if you don’t use the right tonal values, it may look boring or dull. </p>
<p><strong>Grey:</strong> Since grey is a lighter version of black, you could expect a bit of sophistication. Grey reflects simplicity, maturity and intellect. On the other hand, it could also represent indecisiveness, boredom and pessimistic behavior.</p>

<h2 id="4-how-to-use-greenish-brown-and-muddy-grey-in-art">4. How to use greenish brown and muddy grey in art</h2>
<p class="q1">Greenish brown can be used to represent forest landscapes and muddy grey to tone down colors.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-purple-make/muddy-grey.jpg" alt="Muddy grey strokes and texture" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>If your brown appears greenish, you could easily use it to represent scenery in landscapes. But if it leans more toward brown, you could use it to mix with any other color to create an earthly shade.</p>
<p>On the other hand, using muddy grey is a much easier way to create tones of any color. If you have an extremely saturated color but you want it to look slightly dull, then mixing it with muddy grey is your best bet.</p>

<h2 id="5-how-to-use-greenish-brown-and-muddy-grey-in-design">5. How to use greenish brown and muddy grey in design</h2>
<p class="q1">Browns and greys create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-purple-make/green-purple-brown-circles.jpg" alt="Circles containing hints of green, purple and brown" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Greenish brown and muddy grey can be used together to create a natural and relaxing touch.</strong></p>
<p>Here are a few points to remember whenever you decide to incorporate brown and grey into any space.</p>
<ol>
<li>For jam-packed spaces, light values of neutral colors make the room look more open.</li>
<li>When using brown and grey together, remember to keep contrast in mind. If one of the colors is dark, the other one must be lighter. Unless you want an all-dark or all-light look to compensate for the largeness or tiny size of a space.</li>
</ol>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">add bronze objects</p>
<p class="w1">Dark bronze can look very good with a greenish brown or muddy grey backdrop. Since it is reflective, even the darkest of metallic objects could shine against colors having dark shades.</p>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So mixing green and purple would give you either a greenish-brown or a muddy grey. If you add more green, you will more likely get grey and if you add more brown, you would most probably end up with a greenish-brown or dark brown. Since both of these are neutral colors, you could mix them with other colors to create lighter and darker values. And when it comes to design, browns and greys can be used as is with multiple values or even paired with any other color at all.</p>

<p>Yellow, the color of sunshine - it could put a smile on anybody’s face! And about purple, no other color could match it in terms of royalty. Although both these colors look bright and cheerful in most situations, you’ll be surprised at what they make when they’re mixed!</p>
<p><strong>Mixing yellow and purple would either give a brown or a grey hue. Both brown and grey are neutral colors and the resulting hue would depend on whether it is yellow in greater proportion or purple. More yellow in the mix would give brown, while adding more purple would give grey.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-the-color-wheel-and-color-theory">1. Understanding the Color Wheel and Color Theory</h2>
<p class="q1">Whether grey or brown, neutral colors don't appear on the color wheel.</p>
<p>On the color wheel, yellow and purple are <strong>complementary colors</strong> . By complementary, we mean any two colors that are on opposite to each other on the color wheel. </p>
<p><strong>Neutral colors</strong> can be obtained by mixing the primary colors red, blue and yellow in varying proportions. You can also get brown and grey by mixing any two other complementary colors on the wheel. </p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-purple-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="The color wheel featuring warm and cool colors" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<h2 id="2-how-to-create-hues-of-brown-and-grey">2. How to create hues of brown and grey?</h2>
<p class="q1">Producing light and dark hues of neutral colors is very easy!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-purple-make/yellow-purple.jpg" alt="Roller with purple paint on yellow background" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>There are many ways to create brown and grey. But when you’re using yellow and purple to do it, you get better control over the color temperature of the resulting brown hue.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-yellow-to-the-mix">What happens if you add more yellow to the mix?</h3>
<p>By adding more yellow, you’re basically making the resulting color warmer.</p>
<p>You can some of the following yellow hues to mix your very own brown:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cadmium yellow</li>
<li>Yellow ochre</li>
<li>Lemon yellow</li>
</ol>
<p>If you’re using a light and bright yellow, you could expect to get a bright brown!</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-purple-to-the-mix">What happens if you add more purple to the mix?</h3>
<p>By adding more purple, the resulting color would lean toward being grey. </p>
<ol>
<li>Red-violet</li>
<li>Blue-violet</li>
<li>Pastel purple</li>
</ol>
<p>So if you’re using a hue as light as pastel purple, you could expect to get a very light grey. </p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">yellow ochre</p>
<p class="w1">Yellow ochre is an earthly shade. Hence by mixing that with purple, you will get a brown that is closer to the colors found in nature. </p>
<h2 id="3-what-is-the-color-psychology-of-brown-and-grey">3. What is the color psychology of brown and grey?</h2>
<p class="q1">Brown and grey have a harmonious effect together and separately.</p>

<p><strong>Although both brown and grey are neutral colors, they have different effects on the mind. </strong></p>
<p>Brown is more common and clearly visible in nature, compared to grey. Tints and shades of grey can be found in stones and also mixed indirectly with other colors. When it comes to brown, here are a few psychological effects to consider:</p>

<tbody>
<tr>

<p>On the other hand, grey is actually a lighter version (tint) of black. While black is very dark and intense, grey takes its effects and tones it down to the level of more comfort and serenity. Here are a few psychological effects of grey you need to keep in mind:</p>

<p>Never use a color straight out of the tube or as is, unless you want the saturated and vibrant look. Creating tints, tones and shades is necessary if you want to create a difference between subjects and objects in your artworks. </p>
<p>Grey can be used to create ‘tones’ or mid-range values of any color. Such tones are needed to create mid highlights in artworks, areas that are neither too light nor too dark or have shadows.</p>
<p>Whereas brown can be used to tone down any color. Adding brown to any other color would result in an earthy hue, provided the brown is in quite a big amount. These colors could be used for landscape paintings, </p>

<h2 id="5-how-to-use-brown-and-grey-in-design">5. How to use brown and grey in design</h2>
<p class="q1">When designing spaces, use neutral colors to maintain balance and harmony.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-purple-make/brown-grey-interior.jpg" alt="An interior setting with brown and grey hues" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Use brown and grey in spaces that have saturated colors, to neutralize vibrant and overwhelming effects.</strong></p>
<p>Saturated colors are very bright and don’t have white, black or grey mixed into it. Hence, these colors look very sharp to the eyes. To make the entire space more balanced, neutral colors like brown and grey are best. Black could look a bit too dark, but browns and greys are much better for creating soft contrast.</p>
<p>Follow these tips for using brown and grey in your everyday design spaces:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add a bit of pop in your grey and brown space by adding silver, gold or other metallic home decor elements.</li>
<li>Use a bit of green in the space. You don’t have to use paint, just add some artificial or real plants.</li>
<li>Add a gentle touch by using translucent curtains. And they don’t have to be brown or grey, you could even use light blue, pink or any other color.</li>
</ol>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">tonal values of the environment</p>
<p class="w1">If you have mostly dark grey or dark brown in the environment, add decor elements with lighter values. And for light grey and light brown spaces, use decor pieces with darker tones.</p>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>Yellow and purple are complementary colors that give you either a brown or a grey when mixed. If you add more yellow, you’re more likely to get a warm brown and if you add more purple, the result is more likely to be a cool grey. Both brown and grey are neutral colors, which means you could mix them with other colors to achieve light tints, mid-range tones and dark shades. When using in design spaces, combine different tonal values of brown and grey for best results.</p>

<p>What comes to your mind when you think of green? Perhaps the leaves or the lush grassy mountains. And what about brown? The feeling is no different with this color either - it’s as natural and inviting as green. Without a doubt, these two colors are very common in the natural world. We’re surrounded by them all the time and personally, as landscape painting enthusiasts, we tend to use green and brown all the time in mountainscapes. But what happens when we mix these two breathtaking colors together?</p>
<p><strong>Mixing green and brown results in a hue of forest green. It is a dark green hue that could be turned into an earthly shade by adding more brown. If more green is added, the forest green could appear lighter depending on the hue being used.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-green--brown-on-the-color-wheel">1. Understanding Green & Brown on the Color Wheel</h2>
<p class="q1">Green is either cool or warm, whereas brown is neutral!</p>
<p><strong>Neutral colors are black, brown, white and grey. They don’t appear on the color wheel, however they are used to create tints, tones and shades of all other colors. </strong></p>
<p>So being a neutral color, brown doesn’t appear on the color wheel. However, you can easily create your own brown hue by mixing equal proportions of red, blue, and yellow. Another way to get brown is by mixing any two complementary colors. </p>
<p>Two colors are known as <strong>complementary</strong> if they are exactly opposite to each other on the color wheel. For instance, you could see from the color wheel below, that red and green are complementary colors.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="The color wheel featuring warm and cool colors" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">cool and warm colors</p>
<p class="w1">You could make any color appear warmer or cooler. And with green, you could see a yellow-green and a blue-green on the color wheel. So while forest green is basically dark, you could always make it lighter by adding white and warmer by adding yellow.</p>
<h2 id="2-creating-multiple-green-hues">2. Creating multiple Green hues</h2>
<p class="q1">It's easy to get a wide range of green hues!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/green-outdoors.jpg" alt="Green leaves with brown rocks" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>So what if you don’t have a readymade green? There’s nothing to worry about, really. Since green is a secondary color, you could always mix blue and yellow to make your very own green hue.</p>
<h3 id="adding-more-green-to-the-forest-green-hue">Adding more green to the forest green hue</h3>
<p>You could also make the forest green lighter by adding a bright green hue.</p>
<p>Here are some common green hues to consider:</p>
<ol>
<li>Viridian green</li>
<li>Sap green</li>
<li>Emerald green</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="adding-more-brown-to-the-forest-green-hue">Adding more brown to the forest green hue</h3>
<p>Adding more brown to forest green would result in an earthly color. If it’s dark brown, it could even appear more earthly and represent the soil. </p>
<ol>
<li>Burnt sienna</li>
<li>Burnt umber</li>
<li>Raw sienna</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="3-what-is-the-color-psychology-of-forest-green">3. What is the color psychology of forest green?</h2>
<p class="q1">Forest green is a hue of green, bringing home the calm feeling of nature!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/forest-green-mist.jpg" alt="A green forest with mist" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>When we think of green and brown together, it instantly reminds us of the woods. And how does the woods make us all feel? The stunning colors combined with the birds chirping merrily is no less than paradise. It’s exactly this natural ambiance that is associated with green that makes it one of the most soothing and relaxing colors ever. </p>

<h2 id="4-how-can-i-use-forest-green-in-painting">4. How can I use forest green in painting?</h2>
<p class="q1">Forest green is widely used in landscape paintings.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/green-brown-wood.jpg" alt="The texture of green and brown wood" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Forest green is an excellent color choice for creating landscape paintings with a cool atmosphere.</strong></p>
<p>In the set of green hues, forest green lies on the cool side. As a cool color, you could use it to paint green shadows and even landscapes that lean toward a cool atmosphere. For instance, a night scene would usually have a lot of dark green hues. </p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">showing sunlight</p>
<p class="w1">Forest green is a toned-down green. So if you want to depict sunlight in your painting, you would need to lighten the forest green hue by tinting it. </p>
<h2 id="5-how-can-i-use-forest-green-in-drawings">5. How can I use forest green in drawings?</h2>
<p class="q1">Forest green can create beautiful lines in drawings of nature.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/green-brown-texture.jpg" alt="Green and brown textures" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Forest green can be used for tinting natural drawings.</strong></p>
<p>If you love using drawing media, consider these tips while creating your masterpieces:</p>
<ol>
<li>Green inks are an amazing choice for monochromatic drawings. To obtain a dark green shade, you just need to go darker by overlapping multiple layers of single green ink color.</li>
<li> Some amazing green shades are available in tinted charcoal, which make an excellent choice for creating classic drawings.</li>
<li>You could create expressive and highly textured grass with drawing media. For creating striking impressionist drawings, you could use oil pastels. Select a number of other green hues along with forest green and lay out the texture using strokes that don’t overlap each other.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you haven’t used tinted charcoal pencils before, we recommend you buy <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Derwent-Tinted-Charcoal-Pencils-2301691/dp/B00133KNVY?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">this set from Derwent</a> .</p>

<h2 id="6-how-can-i-use-forest-green-in-design">6. How can I use forest green in design?</h2>
<p class="q1">For design, you can break up the forest green into brown and green.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-green-and-brown-make/green-design.jpg" alt="Green wall in interiors with plants" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Forest green is a stunning color for any space. And especially for rooms that require a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Two examples of such rooms could be the library and the drawing-room. </p>
<p>To make the most out of using green in design, follow these tips:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a monochromatic color scheme by incorporating light and dark green hues in the setting. All these colors don’t have to be in the form of wall paint. </li>
<li>Use light neutrals in the space. Since forest green is a dark green color, it wouldn’t make sense to use it with black. That would make the overall space appear dark and gloomy.</li>
<li>Pair forest green with lighter hues of blue and violet. This is known as an analogous color scheme - you can refer the color wheel to properly pull it off!</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>Hence, mixing green and brown would give you a stunning lush forest green. It’s a dark green color that could be used to give the ‘woods’ and ‘nature’ effect to all art and design projects. It works well with a variety of colors, you could even create a monochromatic scheme using multiple tints, tones and shades of forest green. You could also pair it with blues and other green hues for analogous color schemes. </p>

Absolutely Stunning!2021-10-30T00:00:00+00:002021-10-30T00:00:00+00:00https://www.drawingwars.com/what-does-pink-and-yellow-make<h2 id="pink--yellow-an-introduction">Pink & Yellow: An Introduction</h2>
<p>What comes to your mind when you think of pink and yellow? For us, both these colors bring joy and happiness. While pink is much softer than yellow, it brings the same feeling of happiness that yellow does. And when you mix both these joyful colors, you get another blissful and lively color!</p>
<p><strong>Mixing yellow and pink will give you an orange that closely resembles peach. By mixing more yellow, the intensity of the resulting hue could be increased. While adding more pink would make the obtained orange much softer.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-the-color-wheel--color-theory">1. Understanding the Color Wheel & Color Theory</h2>
<p class="q1">Pink and yellow are both warm colors.</p>
<p><strong>Pink is obtained by mixing white with red. And red and yellow are both primary colors.</strong></p>
<p>Color is called ‘primary’ when it cannot be created by mixing other colors. All in all, there are only three primary colors - red, yellow, and blue. While pink itself isn’t primary, it is created by mixing white with the primary color red. So basically, pink is the ‘tint’ of red. </p>
<p>Here is everything you need to know about tints, tones and shades:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Tints:</b> When you mix any color with ‘white’, you get the ‘tint’ of that color.</li>
<li><b>Tones:</b> When you mix any color with ‘grey’, you get the ‘tone’ of that color.</li>
<li><b>Shades:</b> When you mix any color with ‘black’, you get the ‘shade’ of that color.</li>
</ol>
<p>So now you must be wondering, what type of color is orange exactly? Well, since you’re getting a version of orange that is derived from red and yellow, it is a secondary color. You get a secondary color by mixing any two primary colors.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-pink-and-yellow-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="Color wheel featuring both warm and cool primary and secondary colors" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<h2 id="2-making-various-orange-hues-with-pink-and-yellow">2. Making various Orange hues with Pink and Yellow</h2>
<p class="q1">You can get many orange hues by changing the amount of pink and yellow being mixed.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-pink-and-yellow-make/pink-yellow-texture.jpg" alt="Texture of pink and yellow paint" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>So you have a beautiful orange hue by mixing pink and yellow. But it’s not enough, you want to have a wider range of orange colors. And it’s simple to do that - just keeping adding various yellow and orange colors to the mix. You can also play around with the tonal values - adding white, grey, and black to get many tints, tones, and shades.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-yellow">What happens if you add more yellow?</h3>
<p>If you mix more yellow than pink, the resulting orange hue would appear brighter. It could also appear more saturated, depending on the hue and tonal value of the yellow. </p>
<p>By changing the yellow you’re using, you could have an entirely different orange hue altogether.</p>
<ol>
<li>Yellow ochre</li>
<li>Lemon yellow</li>
<li>Cadmium yellow</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-pink">What happens if you add more pink?</h3>
<p>By mixing more pink to orange, the color would have a reddish tint. </p>
<p>If you want to experiment with different pink hues, try adding white to every one of these red colors:</p>
<ol>
<li>Alizarin crimson</li>
<li>Cadmium red</li>
<li>Scarlet</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="3-what-is-the-color-psychology-of-orange">3. What is the color psychology of Orange?</h2>
<p class="q1">An orange made with pink and yellow would have the effects of peach.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-pink-and-yellow-make/pink-orange-clouds.jpg" alt="Pink-orange clouds" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>An orange that is created by mixing yellow and pink would feel more soothing compared to the one created with yellow and red. Pink is all about intuition, warmth, romance, and kindness. So an orange color with pinkish tints would provide a nurturing and comforting environment. Keep in mind though that this is only the case when pink and yellow are mixed in equal amounts.</p>
<p>If the yellow is greater in proportion, then the orange would appear brighter and more saturated. It will also have more side effects of yellow, which means it would instill inspiration, amusement, clarification, and energy.</p>

<p class="q1">Alter the pink tints to get blushing orange hues!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-pink-and-yellow-make/pink-orange-mix.jpg" alt="Blended pink and orange light texture" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>A peach-like orange makes a great base for lighter skin tones.</strong></p>
<p>For using orange successfully in paintings, it’s important to handle the saturation. Orange can appear very bright, so it’s best to combine it with its complementary color blue for a darker shade. Since pink is already a light color, you could add more white to it to give a pastel look to your orange hue.</p>
<p>The peach-like pinkish orange is a great color for creating streaky sunrise and sunset effects.</p>

<p><strong>The lightest value of peach-orange could be used to add highlights on top of any color.</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, using white in drawing media could be difficult over other colors. With the softest and lightest value of peach-orange, you could easily show reflections of light, without making it appear too luminous or bright.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">using peach-orange in pastels</p>
<p class="w1">For pastel artwork, put down layers of darker oranges first. You can go over them with highlights from light pinkish-orange. At most, use only two pastel colors at the same time. </p>

<p>So when you mix pink and yellow, you get a beautiful orange that looks like peach. It’s the kind of orange you could see in the form of streaks in the sky during the time of sunset and sunrise. Therefore, it has a very warm and cozy feeling to it that could make any space happier, warmer and more welcoming. Although pinkish orange is usually light, you can always go brighter or darker by adding more white, grey and black to the mix. </p>

<p>Yellow and red - two primary colors and extremely warm. While yellow makes us cheerful, red excites us and in fact, it could even increase our appetite - it’s just that bold! So you can imagine how powerful these two colors become when they are mixed. Here’s what you get by mixing yellow and red!</p>
<p><strong>Mixing yellow and red will give you a highly saturated orange. By mixing more yellow, the orange hue could be brightened and by mixing more red, it would incline toward red.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-the-color-wheel--color-theory">1. Understanding the Color Wheel & Color Theory</h2>
<p class="q1">Yellow, red, orange - all three are warm colors!</p>
<p><strong>On the color wheel, red and yellow are primary colors. It means that they cannot be produced by mixing other colors. </strong></p>
<p>When you mix two primary colors, you get a secondary color. Hence, orange is secondary as there’s no other way to obtain it except through color mixing. Depending on how much yellow or red you have, you can have red-orange or yellow-orange, as shown on the color wheel.</p>
<h3 id="complementary-colors">Complementary colors</h3>
<p>Two colors that sit exactly opposite to each other on the color wheel are known as <strong>complementary colors</strong> .</p>
<p>For red-orange, you could mix it with the opposite color on the wheel, that is, blue-green. Since green is complementary to red, and blue is complementary to orange, therefore you could expect the resulting mix to be a dark red-orange.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-red-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="Color wheel featuring both warm and cool primary and secondary colors" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<h2 id="2-making-hues-of-orange-with-yellow--red">2. Making hues of Orange with Yellow & Red</h2>
<p class="q1">Whether you add more red or yellow, both are warm colors.</p>
<p>Using only one orange hue could make an artwork look too monotonous. Use various yellow and red hues for a more diverse and vibrant approach to your drawings and paintings.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-yellow">What happens if you add more yellow?</h3>
<p>By adding more yellow to the orange, you would get a yellow-orange hue. It would also mean that the resulting orange would have more psychological effects of yellow.</p>
<p>You may find a few of these common yellow hues in your drawing and painting sets:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cadmium yellow</li>
<li>Yellow ochre</li>
<li>Lemon yellow</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-red">What happens if you add more red?</h3>
<p>Adding more red to the orange mix would make it appear bolder. It could also tone down the ‘creative’ and ‘fun’ effect of orange.</p>
<p>Here are a few common red hues you can find various art kits:</p>
<ol>
<li>Alizarin crimson</li>
<li>Cadmium red</li>
<li>Scarlet</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="3-what-is-the-color-psychology-of-orange">3. What is the color psychology of Orange?</h2>
<p class="q1">Orange combines the mixed traits of red and yellow.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-red-make/red-orange-texture.jpg" alt="Texture of red, orange and peach" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Orange is made up of yellow and red. Both are warm and primary colors, hence you could expect a fun and lively effect on the viewer of all orange hues.</p>
<p>So if there is more red color in your orange hue, it would appear bolder. The psychological effects would also be closer to red than to yellow. However, if there’s more yellow, the warmth would be the same but the orange would appear to have happier and more cheerful effects.</p>
<p>Note that the negative and positive traits could also change as you lighten or darken a color. A darker orange could appear more serious compared to a pastel one, that could evoke romantic and warm feelings.</p>

<h2 id="4-how-can-i-use-orange-in-painting">4. How can I use Orange in painting?</h2>
<p class="q1">Orange is a must-have color for sunsets and sunrise.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-red-make/orange-texture.jpg" alt="Orange texture with hints of red and yellow" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>In paintings, orange is used quite a lot for creating skin tones and warm atmospheres in landscape art.</strong></p>
<p>Whenever you’re painting, follow these tips to make the most out of orange tones:</p>
<ol>
<li>Combine orange with white to get a lovely peach for light skin tones. When using oil paints, you could do this directly on the canvas for expressive brush stroke effects and better blendability.</li>
<li>You could add the complementary color blue to orange and it would give you a dark blue or dark orange. For acrylic paints, it’s best to do the mixing as fast as possible and always create one shade lighter. This is because acrylics dry extremely fast and the resulting color always appears darker after drying.</li>
<li>For watercolor paints, mix any red with any yellow. But if you want to go lighter, dilute the orange hue with water instead of using white to obtain tints of orange.</li>

<h2 id="5-how-can-i-use-orange-in-drawing">5. How can I use Orange in drawing?</h2>
<p class="q1">Light oranges can be used a lot for skin tones.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-red-make/orange-ink.jpg" alt="Flowy orange ink texture in water" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Orange can be used to create blended skies and a wide range of skin tones. A colorless blending pencil isn’t necessary, although it is recommended for use with colored pencils.</strong></p>
<p>Using orange in monochromatic drawings is very rare. However, there’s no rule that you cannot use it. Here are some ways in which you could use multiple orange hues in drawing media:</p>
<ol>
<li>In pastels and chalks, it’s best to use orange directly. Avoid mixing an orange using yellow and red because it could appear muddy if the blending isn’t done right. For best results, restrict yourself to using one color at a time and then build up tonal values.</li>
<li>For inks, you could easily dilute any orange hue to get light skin tones. Add a bit of blue ink to orange for darker skin tones.</li>
<li>For sunset tones, use red and white in conjunction for a pinkish tint in your orange.</li>
</ol>
<p>Do you love to color pages or work on unusual surfaces? Then you definitely need a set of permanent markers. Here’s a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Set-Bic-Color-Collection-Special/dp/B071DPL3WB?tag=jimenaboliv08-20" target="_blank">5-marker pack of beautiful orange hues</a> .</p>

<h2 id="6-how-can-i-use-orange-in-design">6. How can I use Orange in design?</h2>
<p class="q1">Orange can promote a creative environment in any space.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-yellow-and-red-make/orange-hues-design.jpg" alt="Shade cards showing tints, tones and shades of orange" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p><strong>Use orange for spaces where there’s a lack of creativity and warmth.</strong></p>
<p>When you add orange to a space, it promotes creativity and fun. These two basic effects make it a great choice for workspaces and even game rooms. </p>
<p>For making best use of orange in your design spaces, follow these tips:</p>
<ol>
<li>Orange is a very warm color, so it’s best to use it side by side with cool colors. Blue tones make the best choice as orange and blue are complementary colors. </li>
<li>As a naturally bright color, orange could come across as overwhelming to the eyes and the mind. Keep orange hues minimal and add a lot of dark brown or grey in the surrounding for a more harmonious environment.</li>
<li>You don’t have to use only paint. Bring in natural elements such as stone and wood. These could be tiny decor pieces made of such material, only to add some variety and make the space pop more.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>So by mixing yellow and red, you would get a lovely orange. This hue of orange could appear more yellowish or red, depending on the proportions of each of these colors in the mix. For using orange in painting and drawing, it’s best to create a range of orange hues by adding white, grey, and black. You could also mix orange with blue, as both are complementary colors, and mixing them could result in darker blue and orange colors.</p>

<p>What comes to your mind when you think of blue and brown? For us, blue reminds us of the water, whereas brown makes us think of the vast soil and the brown hues in nature, such as tree trunks. While blue is a primary color, brown is a neutral color, however, both of them have more or less the same psychological impact. We love using them in our art and design projects because they provide security and calm feelings. But what happens when you mix them?</p>
<p><strong>Mixing primary color blue and neutral color brown would result in teal or a muddy brown. By adding more blue to the mix, the final color would be a dark blue, whereas by adding more brown, it would lean toward a muddy brown.</strong></p>
<h2 id="1-understanding-the-color-wheel-and-color-theory">1. Understanding the Color Wheel and Color Theory</h2>
<p class="q1">Teal is a toned-down deep blue, whereas brown is a neutral color.</p>
<p><strong>Neutral colors do not appear on the color wheel. However, brown can be created by mixing red, blue, and yellow.</strong></p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-blue-and-brown-make/color-wheel.jpg" alt="The color wheel showcasing cool and warm colors respectively" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>Blue is a cool color, whereas brown could be either cool or warm. Also, blue is primary which means you can’t make it from any other color. But if you want to have a darker blue hue, you can mix it with its complementary color, orange.</p>
<h3 id="creating-tonal-values">Creating tonal values </h3>
<p>To create tonal values and contrast, all you have to do is use neutral colors. Keep in mind that brown itself is a neutral color. So in order to go darker or lighter for brown, the easiest method is to use white, grey, and black. Adding white to a color means you’re tinting it and making it lighter. Adding grey to color means you’re toning it and making a mid-range hue.</p>
<p>For blue too, you could simply use white, grey, or black to create multiple hues without turning the particular blue hue into a teal shade. It is easy to follow if you’re finding complementary colors hard.</p>
<h2 id="2-brown-or-blue-how-much-to-add-to-the-mix">2. Brown or blue: How much to add to the mix?</h2>
<p class="q1">It all depends on whether you want a teal shade or brown!</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-blue-and-brown-make/teal-and-brown.jpg" alt="A top view of the shore and the sea" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>While mixing blue and brown, you can consider if you’re using a warm brown or a blue one. It could help set the overall color temperature of the resulting color - whether you opt for teal or a muddy brown.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-blue-to-the-mix">What happens if you add more blue to the mix?</h3>
<p>Adding more blue to the mix would result in a bluish tint in the teal. So its tonal value would begin to lighten according to the blue being added. Note that the blue hue you’re using will also have an impact on the resulting color. For instance, if you’re using cerulean blue, it’s inherently lighter than ultramarine and would thus help make a dark and muddy brown less intense too.</p>
<h3 id="what-happens-if-you-add-more-brown-to-the-mix">What happens if you add more brown to the mix?</h3>
<p>Adding more brown will result in a muddier appearance. It could be a good color for creating tones and the warmth or the coolness of the mixed color would depend on the brown hue you’re using. If you’re adding a lighter brown, it could result in a pastel shade.</p>
<p class="w3">PRO-TIP</p>
<p class="w2">remember tonal values</p>
<p class="w1">How light or dark your brown and blue are will also have a role to play. All in all, the tonal values and the hues you choose also matter!</p>
<h2 id="3-what-is-the-color-psychology-of-teal-and-brown">3. What is the color psychology of teal and brown?</h2>
<p class="q1">Teal and brown both are like two sides of the same coin.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-blue-and-brown-make/blue-and-brown.jpg" alt="Brown bricks with inner bricks painted blue" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>When you think of teal, you could visualize the deep oceans and seas. On the other hand, brown is as much a reminder of nature as blue is. It depends on how much blue you’re adding to the mix and how much brown is present - that decides what effect the resulting color has on the viewer and the environment overall.</p>
<p>For teal, the main positive aspects are being logical, sympathetic, welcoming and refreshing. However, since it’s a deep and darker blue, it could come across as edgy, private and uneasy as well.</p>
<p>For brown, the main positive aspects are wisdom, appreciation, support and dependability. As for the negative side, the aspects could be being timid, unpredictable, or dull.</p>
<p>Make sure you check out this guide on <a href="https://uxplanet.org/understanding-color-psychology-though-culture-symbolism-and-emotion-215102347276" target="_blank">how colors get associated with cultures and symbolism</a> . It will help you understand how cultural and symbolic association with color works generally.</p>
<h2 id="4-using-teal-and-brown-in-art-and-design">4. Using teal and brown in art and design</h2>
<p class="q1">Teal reflects calm and soothing feelings, whereas brown is more stable.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/img/posts/what-does-blue-and-brown-make/blue-brown.jpg" alt="A light teal and brown drops" class="img-fluid pb-4" /></p>
<p>These two colors make a brilliant combination in artworks and design projects. For interior design, they could easily create a natural and ‘feel at home’ environment when used in proper contrast.</p>
<p>Brown is an excellent option for figure studies and even monochromatic artworks. It is due to the fact that it is an earthly color and gives off the classic vibes from the traditional art era, when most of the drawings would be of single color.</p>
<p>If you’re creating a landscape painting, you could use teal to create dark shadows. Other than that, combining teal and brown in a seascape painting could yield phenomenal results!</p>

Psychologically, the teal evokes calm and cool feelings just like blue, and brown reflects security but it is comfortable nonetheless.</p>
