Q&A for How to Mix Colors to Make Dark Blue

Ocean blue and dark forest brown usually combine to form a very dark green. If you mix these colors, you might find that you don't always get the dark green, so you have to watch how much of each color you add. A good tip is to start with the lighter color and add just a little bit of the darker color at a time until you reach your desired shade.

Add a small dot of black paint to yellow. If you want a lighter green, you can always add white. It's better not to saturate the color too much (white isn't the solution to all problems) so it's more convenient to have blue in order to make green. If you really can't have blue, then yellow, black and white paint will do the job satisfactorily.

Just black. But you have to be careful and add just a little bit at a time until you've got your desired color.

No, it does not. It makes orange.

It depends on how much of each you use -- could be anywhere from a grey blue to a blue black.

It makes a bit of a dull purple color, assuming you use the same amount of each color.

To darken a color, add black (or a darker shade of your color). To lighten a color, start with white paint and mix in small amounts of your color. When mixing dark/light paints, you always want to start with the lighter color and add the darker color in small amounts. For example, if you're mixing pink, start with a bit of white paint and add a drop or two of red, mix, and repeat until you reach your desired shade. Similarly, if you're making purple, start with red and mix in small amounts of blue until you get your desired color.

You combine all the colors that you have and then you do not exactly get black but you get very very dark brown. You will not get a true black without the color black.

Blue is a primary color, meaning you cannot get it by mixing colors together.

You could try to add black but don't add too much, just small drops at a time until you have the color you want and add some green into it as well.

You can try adding a little bit of red and black. The red will make the colour of the teal warmer and the black will darken it.

To make nearly a dead match to Cerulean Blue, use Thalo Blue, White, and enough Yellow or Red to gray its chroma a bit.

It will make dark brown. If you mix blue with orange, it will make brown and then the addition of black will make it darker.
