what color does red and green make?

Answer 1

mixed? a nasty brown color

Answer 2

Kind of an ugly khaki brown, since you are probably not working with a true cyan base to the green. If you were (and the color you started with was not Christmas or kelly green), then you would have a good brown. As it is, the brown many folks make with red and green is khaki colored, sort of a muddy color, if that is possible.

Answer 3

Blue and yellow make green. Add red to the mix and you will get brown, the hue of the brown will depend on how much more red you use than green or vice-versa. Blue, yellow and red are primary colours and green is a secondary colour that means it's made up of primary colours.

Answer 4

Yellow

Answer 5

A really ugly brown color.

Answer 6

A brownish color

Answer 7

It very much depends exactly how much of each color. In theory, if you mix red and green you get black. Oil painters often paint an area green, later over-paint in red to get a richer, warmer color than a dead black. With addition of some red to green, or some green to red, you get a brown - warm brown or khaki color. If you add small red dots into a green painted tree, the green is intensified. Color theory is a complicated area. ;)

Answer 8

Brown!

Answer 11

The human retina has cone cells which see mainly red, green and blue. Other colors are interpreted as mixtures of these. If the red and green cones are triggered, then the brain thinks "yellow".

Computer monitors and TV sets are designed to match human vision. They only have the 3 colors of dots: Red, Green, and Blue. To make yellow, both the red and green dots must be turned on equally. Other colors are variations.

Our brain sees= black white red yellow green blue
Red dots off on on on off off
Green dots off on off on on off
Blue dots off on off off off on

Color deficiency

People who are "colorblind" tend to be missing some of the color-sensitive cones, so these colors will appear darker. Few people are completely colorblind.


For those that are color deficient, this is a graph showing approximate proportions of each type, based on a study of 5000 Swiss men who wanted to be pilots (done by Cameron in 1966).

The Swiss study found 5 % of the males had color deficiency
The most common was low perception of green. Almost 4% had green problems.
The 2nd most common was complete lack of red vision. Nearly 1 %
Problem Official term % of males per 1000 males
Weak in red "protanomalous" 0.5 % 5
No red "protoanopia" 0.8 % 8
Weak in green "deuteranomalous" 3.3 % 33
No green "deuternopia" 0.6 % 6
What color deficient people see

The following colors are only approximate, because human color sensitivity is complex, but gets across the general idea. I simply took the basic rose picture, and with image editor software reduced red or green.
