what color comes from mixing white and brown? Also, what color comes from mixing black with brown?

Answer 1

white+brown=lighter brown than the original

black+brown= darker brown than original

all depending on how much you put in

Answer 2

i) A light brown, theoretically. But one might find the inherent bias of the brown revealed, as when a wan russet purple results, or an off-cream pink.
ii) A dark brown. But again, a blue black may give a more purple hue, where a red black may give a richer, deeper brown.

Really, the only test is to mix and see. In general, guaches are the purest pigments available, and give results closest to the 3-primary-colour theory. A good book in this regard is called "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green", explaining the physical basis underlying practical colour mixing for painters.

Answer 3

Mixing white is tint. Mixing black is shade. Mixing grey is adding tone.

If you mix white with brown, you get a lighter tinted brown.
If you mix black with brown, you get a darker shaded brown.

Brown is most intense in its original color. Adding tint or shade fades the color. Hope this will help you.

Answer 4

Depending on the brown you can end up with a flesh to a sandy tone to a mud when you mix white with it. Mixing brown with black will give you a black. Mix a lot of brown with black and you end up with a muddy black.
Now....go to your palette and mix the hues for real and you can see for yourself exactly what you get.

Answer 5
