Answer 1

If you want a pinkish magenta - sort of what gets called "hot Pink" - (but not a "baby" pink), unless you're luck enough to have just the right magenta pigment, you'll need white and two colors.

First, take a look at this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(color)

I'm going to make the assumption you are using oil paints or acrylics to do your project - maybe I'm wrong - but the pigment names are the same even with different paint media, so bear with it.

The colors I am going to talk about are listed way down at the bottom of that page under the general heading of "SHADES OF PINKS"

Look for the color samples called fuschia, rose, magenta, and purple. Those are the ones I'll tell you how to mix. Note that they are sort of hot pinks.

For those, you'll need two colors in addition to a white.

First - a "magenta-y"red.
Look on this page for examples of the colors I'm naming here:
www.gamblincolors.com/artists.grade.oils/reds/index.html
Probably the closest would be quinacridone red or quinacridone magenta.
Also usable would be Alizarin Crimson.

Maybe if you're really lucky, a mix of one of these reds and white will get you where you need, but if you need it more pushed more into a purple/violet/magenta direction, you'll need the next color.

Second either a purpley blue or a bluey purple.
Ultramarine blue is a blue that just hints at a purplish color.
Look on this page for examples of the colors I'm naming here:
www.gamblincolors.com/artists.grade.oils/blues/index.html

Or, better if you can get your hands on it:
Either Manganese Violet or
a color known either as Dioxazine Purple or Carbazole Violet - same color - but different makers fiddle with the name.
Look on this page for examples of the colors I'm naming here:

The trick is to have one color a little bit too red and the other a little bit too blue. The mix allows you to choose where in between you want to mix it to. Then the white allows you to "pink it up", pastelling it towards white.

If you want the sort of color I am referring to - do not use a cadmium red - it will get you a baby pink.
Take a second look at: www.gamblincolors.com/artists.grade.oils/reds/index.html and look at the color patch for cad red.
You'll see the pink tint you get when you add white. That's almost an orangy red or orangy pink.

Best,

Answer 2

Magenta is usually a color unto itself; in fact, it is one of the primary colors in the printing process (it's the red).

I think the closest you can come to magenta/fuchsia if you're mixing it yourself is with some red, violet, and a bit of white (it's a pinkish, purplish red, after all).

Edit: I'm not quite sure what you mean by "i need this pink colour (not the purple)", but if you just add white to red all you'll get is a shade of pink. You need a bit of violet, or at least blue, to get the slightly purply richness of magenta/fuchsia. But I'm afraid that the hue, purity, and brightness won't be able to be exactly like the "real" thing.

In any case, if you google and look at pictures of the Cheshire Cat on the Web, there are various variations on his colors, with the stripes being purple + pink, or hot pink + light pink, or purple + magenta, or magenta + pink... I think you have some room for improvisation here. Just make sure there's a contrast.

Answer 3

Complimentary Colors are colors that blend well together. They are next to each other on the color wheel. 2 colors would be green and blue.

Suplimentary Colors are colors that do not blend as well together. These colors would be found on opposite sites accross from each other. 2 colors would be yellow and purple.

When drawing 3D objects decide which wait the light is shinning for THE WHOLE PICTURE. The farthest side away from the "sun" gets the darkest shade.

Check out color wheels on Google Images, they will help you out a lot on deciding which colors to use.

Answer 4

Fuschia Paint

Answer 5

When you mix colors you should start with a color nearest where you want to go. You cannot take standard paint and BUMP THEM UP. Go to the store and see if they have something nearer where you want to go.

Answer 6

Try: colbalt blue (dark) cadmium (normal) red with some white
