What colors do you mix to make the color blood red?

Answer 1

Technically you can't make red. It is a primary color in the process of color creation by passing light through the result. You can't make primary colors by mixing 2 other colors. Though you can mix hot pink and orange to get something close to red

If you are using the process used in printers, layering materials and reflecting light, red and blue are not primary colors. Magenta, yellow, and cyan are the primaries. Mix equal parts of magenta and yellow to get red.

Red and blue are no longer primary colors. They were believed to be primary colors, because the true primaries, magenta and cyan were not available in a form to be used by artists. Yellow is the third primary.

Science has since shown why magenta, yellow, and cyan are the primary colors. The eye has three overlapping bands of color it is sensitive to: red, green, and blue. These are the primary colors of light (to humans).

Magenta pigment absorbs green light. Yellow pigment absorbs blue light. And cyan pigment absorbs red light.

If your teacher is still telling you that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors, that teacher is teaching material that is over 50 years out of date. 50 years ago, as a 6th grader, I showed our art teacher the new primaries, which I found in a library book. Two weeks later, we got new watercolor paint boxes with magenta, yellow,. and cyan replacing the old boxes with red, yellow, and blue that had failed to make good color mixes.

Unfortunately, art supply dealers are still mired in the past.

Answer 2

• Yellow and Dark Pink can make the Primary Red on pens. I think the same on Paint.

• Ok, to start off, it is unable to make a primary colour with other colours. If you are 100% determined to make red, then I would just experiment and use the closest colour to red if that's the colour you want. :D

• You cannot mix any two colors to get red because red is a primary color. You can mix primary colors to get other colors

Answer 3

For blood red color you must mix any "normal" red color (Deep Red, Crimson, Cadmium Red, etc. ) and brown (Burnt Umber is the best choice though it can be any "warm" brown). You can also add very little Ochre or/and Black to get different shades. The trick is that when you try it on any white surface it must not get pinkish but brownish shades as blood gets when it dries.

Try experimenting with different amounts of mentioned colors. There should be the most red color in the mix obviously. And always try it on white surface (the whiter the better).

Answer 4

Red is one of the three primary colours (red, yellow and blue). They are the bases from which other colours are mixed. It is not possible to mix other colours to achieve a primary colour, however, below is a list of the secondary colours achieved by mixing the primary colours.

Red + blue = purple.

Red + yellow = orange.

Blue + yellow = green.

Answer 5

Vermilion and Crimson make red. Vermilion and Crimson are double primary colours so you probably haven't heard of them.

Answer 6

pink and white
