In general, if you mix a variety of different colours, you will wind up with brown (but if you mix many different shades of orange together, the result will still be orange). If you only want to mix two colours together, you can also get brown by adding black to red.

∙ 10y agoBrown can be created with any two opposite colors.
Remember the color wheel? Write the names of the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) on the edges of a circle, equally spaced apart. Between each pair of colors, write the secondary color name which is made by combining those two colors (red + yellow = orange, yellow + blue = green, blue + red = violet). Now you have a circle with these colors - in their proper order - around the perimeter of the circle: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, and back to Red.
Now, study which colors are opposite each other on the color wheel:
Red / Green
Orange / Blue
Yellow / Violet
And there you go. Combine any of those pairs of opposite colors, and you will get brown.
It goes further - In between each of those primary and secondary colors on the wheel, you'll identify colors such as: yellow-green, red-violet, teal, coral, and so on. These are tertiary colors. Opposites of these colors, too, will create brown; for example, blue-violet and yellow-orange.
You can also make brown with a triad of colors - any three colors which are equally spaced on the wheel: All three primary colors, all three secondary colors, or all three tertiary colors.
You'll find the quantity of each color differs, though. For example, when making brown with violet and yellow, you need a lot of yellow but only a little bit of violet. A lot of orange with a small amount of blue. Nearly equal amounts of red and green works, though.
Each combination will make a different shade of brown - so you'll have to experiment to find the combination that results in the exact color you want. Don't be afraid to add a third color to turn the color truer to your ideal, for example, if your brown appears a bit too greenish, then add it's opposite (red) to turn the shade.
Easy to do, and fun!

Mixing yellow paint, a small amount of blue paint, orange paint, and a very small amount of black paint is one method that can be used to create brown paint. Answer: If you mix green and orange you get kind of a tanntish color brown!!!! Answer: Brown can lean toward yellow, red or green, so a brown can be made by mixing all three of the primary colors; red, blue and yellow. Equal amounts of all three will create a brown, then adjust to the undertone that you want by adding more of one or two of the colors, plus some black or white as needed. Black will add shadow and muting while white will lighten.
