How do you change light yellow paint into dark yellow paint?
The 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.
