Adding blue pigment, a bit at a time will bring orange paint toward the brown colour, you may have to contiue to adjust by adding more red or more yellow, depending on the original orange and the blue you are using.

∙ 14y agoThe question is too vague to answer well. It depends on how dark you want to make it. You would add tints (such as burnt umber or black) to darken the yellow, but you will have to know how much tint is already in it, and how much you will need to add to make it the color that you want.....there is only so much tint that you can put in the paint without having detrimental effects. If you want a darker color, often the "base" that the color will be mixed from will be a darker base....not white.
You will probably be better off to just buy the color that you like.

∙ 13y agoThe secrets are color, and the proportions of the different colors in the mix.
First it is good to remind ourselves of some basic color mixes:
Blue + yellow = green
Green + white = light green
-------------
Yellow + red = orange
Orange + white = peach (light orange)
-------------------
Orange + a tiny bit of blue = brown. (Blue is a very 'strong' color. So don't use too much here.)
Brown + white = light brown
--------------------------
RECAP
Yellow and blue = green
Green + white = light green
-------------------------------------
So, with light green you've already got Y,B,W
Brown is Y,R,W, + a tiny bit of Blue, so lets call the mix Y,R,W,b
You have already got Y,B,W
So basically you need some R, but not much!
However, because you've already got a LOT of Blue (too much!), you will have to increase the proportions of the other colors instead, i.e. the Y, R and W.
So, instead of adding red, you could add light orange. This will provide the extra yellow, red and white you need.
Alternatively you could slowly add a little more Y+R until it looks brown, then lighten it with white to make the light brown tint you want.

Or you could add purple, the color will be warmer and more "alive".

What two paint colourse mixed together make brown?
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.
