if you mix all the primary colors together with paint what color do you get?

Question

and can you prove give you are right give a web site that backs you up

Answer 1

You get black.

Answer 2

I have actually done this with oil paints, and you get really close to black - in everyday practise it depends on the brand of paints you use, and what pigments they use in each color, and whether you are using water paints, acrylics, oils, etc. etc. but the colour gets darker and darker the more colours you add. The muddy brownish answer is a close one if you just use a simple mix, but the theory is that "all" colors mixed will give you black. ( in a perfect laboratory situation ) This is the OPPOSITE of mixing light, and if you look behind the scenes in theaters, they do not use " WHITE" lights, since these lights will bleach the colour out of everything on stage, especially the faces of the actors. To get a rich "white" lighting on the stage that shows all the colour details, they use sets of three lights - red, blue and yellow or green, and these primary colors light the stage in "white" without bleaching colours. If you take 3 spotlights and shine red, blue and yellow on the same spot on the floor, all you see is a white light. If you look at your TV set, you will see 3 dots of colours. When they are all "on" you get a white colour.
Hope this helps, and I dont have a link handy.

Answer 3

When you paint, it is a subtractive process, vs. light that uses an additive process. Mixing two primaries produces secondary colors; but mixing all three using the paint colors red, blue and yellow creates a muddy brown tending towards black, as evidenced with printing methods that mixes the primary cyan, magenta and yellow colors together.

Answer 4

Actually, there is a web site called "Color Wheel" and what you get is brown. (It also depends on the particular brand of paint you are using and the proportions in which you are using it.) Just good "color wheel".
