What color matches green on the color wheel?

Answer 1

You know that mixing blue and yellow will make green. Since all blues and yellows are not the same, I tend to use specific colors like cobalt blue and hansa yellow(closest to real yellow) to make the green and then more blue or more yellow to it to get the green I want.

Using a cadmium yellow, which tends to have a small amount of red in it will result in a slightly darker, brownish green.

I've only been in one rain forest and looking at the plants, many tended to be blue green while others were more yellow green. If you want to make your jungle interesting, you want to have a varieties of greens. Adding naphthol red (closest to real red) to the green mix will darken it. Adding more of the red will brown it up.

The secret is to experiment with the colors you have on your palette and create the green that works with the rest of your painting. The more consistency of the base colors which produce the other colors int he painting, the better the painting will be.

Answer 2

You can mix any colors with green but not green because you already used it.

Answer 3

In terms of physical colours, blue and yellow produce green.

In terms of light colours, green is a primary colour and is not the production of a mixture of any colours.

Answer 4

On the color wheel the color directly across from your original color is it's complimentary color. So in your case, red is a color that would go well with green.
