Question Posted Saturday February 5 2005, 11:37 am
Does anybody know how to mix black? I don't know if there really is a way, but I have the following colors: red, yellow, blue, green, purple and orange. If anybody could tell me, I would appreciate it so much. I've tried blue and orange and I got a really dark brown, but I tried to add green and it only got more purplish. HELP!!

You're going in the right direction, blue and orange definitely work. Avoid yellow for that. Either that, or add yellow and purple. You should get a brownish color, I think, and add blue.
You probably won't get a pure black, but you'll get a dark color. I haven't played with paints in awhile so I'm not sure if that's right, but I think it is. I hope this helps!

Let me try to remember. I don't actually think I was able to find the correct amount for each color, but I know it was red and green. If you have a dark red and a dark green, you should keep mixing them until you find a good combination. I think blue might have been in that.

The woman I used to paint with told me the only way to make something that resembled black is to use a very dark purple or a very dark blue.. I dunno I could be wrong but you could try that.. I use it to paint shadows. Good luck!
