    Community Answer
    No. Usually it becomes a tone or shade of brown. It also depends on what materials you are using. If it's temperate paint or acrylic paint, it should turn brown. If it's watercolor, it normally turns a kind of gray-brown or gray.

    Add some white, bit by bit. Once you are happy with the lightness of the shade, ask yourself- Does it need more red or more yellow? Or does it look fine how it is? Once you figure this out, you should be able to get your desired color.
