What colors do i need to combine to make the color black?

Answer 1

yellow, red and blue - the three primary colors

Answer 2

like many of the other post say none i do see some recomending mixing red, blue and yellow. this is more or less chromatic gray not black you would use this technique to change the shade (hue) of the color. works good for fading colors with out having to add black and ruin the color

Answer 3

Are you mixing colored lights or pigments? In theory...add all the lights for white, substract all the lights for black (presuming you can do this in the dark.) With pigments, add all the colors for black. In reality, you will get not a black, but a dark gray that may be warm or cool depending on the hues used.

Answer 4

If you are using oil paints ...mix ultramarine blue and burnt umbra. It makes a rich looking black. It also blends better then store bought black which tends to dull the colors. Also, a real artist never uses paints directly from the tubes.

Answer 5

Technically equal amounts of red, yellow and blue combine to make black but in reality it makes a dark shade of grey. Best just to buy it!

Answer 6

Black is not a color,neither is white. Black is the absence of color, as is white. Good luck.

Answer 7

the impressionists used the darkest blue possible with red and yellow without mixing together, expriment with amounts until you get the colour right. buy the way, real artists do use paint from the tubes, look at van gogh, the fauves and expressionists

Answer 8

Answer 9

It may not look like black, but it is a darkest colour you can get.
