Best Answer

Cyan can be mixed using specific blue pigments as not all flavors of blue are made from the same pigment.

The exact proportions have to be determined with careful experimentation. Start with a 2:1 mixture of whites (2 parts Zinc to 1 part Titanium). Add very small amounts of the blues beginning with Phthalo. Phthalo Blue has a very strong tinting strength and the smallest amounts will greatly effect the mixture.

Cyan Blue = Ultramarine Blue (PB29) + Phthalo Blue (PB15) + Zinc White(PW4) + Titanium White(PW6) => Cyan Blue

The inclusion of Zinc White is important for bringing out the hue. It is the most transparent of the whites with one significant caveat....it is prone to brittle cracking and flaking away. The Titanium mixture increases its durability and opacity.

To make it lighter, add white paint.

Why does science have primary colors?

The primary colours of light make up every colour in the world. The primary colours are red, green and blue. If you mix these colours together you will make white, which contains the spectrum of light.

What 2 colors do you mix to get blue?

As blue is a primary colour, it cannot be made by mixing 2 colours, however it can be used to make other secondary colours. Cyan and magenta mix to make blue. 100 percent cyan, 100 percent magenta make a good deep two-color blue. Normally I throw a little black and maybe some yellow into my blue.


What are the color on the color wheel?

To make all colors in pigment the 3 primaries must be transparent. Transparent yellow is ASTM number PY150 made from the nickel element. Transparent magenta is PR122, C20H12N2O2. Transparent yellow and transparent magenta mix into the secondary pigment color red. The 3rd transparent primary pigment color is cyan, made from the copper element, PB15. Transparent yellow and transparent cyan make the secondary color green. Transparent cyan mixed with the the transparent magenta color make the secondary color ultramarine blue. Yellow, magenta and cyan are the primary pigment colors, red, green and blue are the secondary pigment colors. Light uses the opposite colors, the secondary pigment colors become the primary light colors. Red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors in pigment or in light. Those colors came from Newton in 1600 and they are just the most obvious colors in the prism and rainbow. RCW
