What colors do I mix together to make brown and how much of each colors? I'm asking because the arts and crafts store here where I live is all out of brown. Thank you inadvance for your help.

1) Get a color wheel which shows primary (red, yellow, blue), secondary (orange, green, violet). and tertiary (browns, tans, etc.) colors.
2) Mix yellow (primary) and blue (primary) to get green (secondary).
3) Mix green (secondary) and red (primary) to get brown (tertiary).


Another way to make brown is to mix orange or red paint with a small amount of black paint. If you need a darker brown add more black. To make a lighter, less saturated brown, ("milk chocolate"), add white.

the 3 primary colors mixed will give you shades of brown (yellow, blue and red)
