how to mix brown...?

Question

I feel so ashamed... :( I cannot remember for the life of me how to mix brown. Can someone please remind me. :) [blush]

Answer 1

mix blue with orange (all primary colours in equal amounts) blue red yellow will get you brown

Answer 2

If you mix red blue and yellow just right you get a neutral gray....with patience. From this you can make any brown you want by adding red and or yellow.

Also the other way around. Ad some of that gray to a splash of red or yellow to get a more brownish tint to it.

This is assuming you just have 3 colors...but I hope you have more. This is however a basic strategy that works. Also adding black or white gives a whole new dimension to the number of browns you can make.

Answer 3

Brown is an odd color, like teal, because there are literally dozens of different ways to mix it, and my color brown may be different from your color brown. But a few good combinations are 1 part orange, 1 part black, 1 part red.... or 2 parts red, 1 part yellow, 1 part black. Or orange and purple, or you can mix all colors you have and you'll get a muddy-like color (NOT GRAY!)

Answer 4

easiest way?black and red as base,and add others for effect you wish-yellow,or blue...Colours that you already have mixed like to become brown when mixed all together!

Answer 5

Orange & blue will give you basic brown.

Answer 6

Try Black and Yellow or orange.

Answer 7

red and green...or you can do orange and green which will be more of a tannish color
