how can you make brown only using blue,yellow, and red?

Question

please help!

WELL FOR ONE THING I CANT MIX GREEN WITH YELLOY BECAUSE I GOT FREEN FROM BLUE AND YELLOW

Answer 1

you'll mix them all together, but to break it down, mix the red and yellow to make an orange. (watch the red, I'd use more yellow than red, so you get a "lighter" orange)

now add amounts of blue to that orange until you get the brown you're looking for. of course the orange you mix will also affect the brown outcome.

blue and orange are complimentary colors (opposite each other on the color wheel) that's why they make a brown.

Answer 2

Well. by definition, there is no such thing as brown. It is really only a muted yellow. Most yellow leans toward green so when you mute it(by adding grey), it goes army green. If you have a yellow that is more red or orange in tone and then mute it, the result will be more brown. From your formula - it sounds like the red is missing. If you want to go crazy, you might benifit from Munsell's color theory (its the basic color wheel on steroids. The easiest way to get to brown is with yellow, red and grey.

Answer 3

Have you mixed them all together? That usually makes brown. Of course, there are several different Reds, Yellows, and Blues but then there are several different browns too.

Answer 4

blue+yellow+red=brown, simple. You can mess around with the proportions to get different types.

Answer 5

red,blue and yellow are primary colors.all colors are made from both simple and complex combinations of the three.for example:red and yellow make orange,blue and yellow make green,red and blue make purple,so on and so forth...i hope this helps

Answer 6

Just start with small amounts of all three in equal portions. THat shoud start you with a brown of one shade or another. Then, as you mix, you can add more of one or more of the colors to change the shade of brown.
