Brown

Depending on the ratio of colors, you can also produce a beautiful gray and a wide variety of browns.

Make an orange from red and yellow to make a cadmium orange and add it to ultramarine blue in a 1 to 3 ratio and you get a dark gray. Add white and you get varying shades of gray. Increase the amount of orange, and you get more of a brown.

This works with all similar combinations of primary colors.

The best thing is to experiment and be aware that most of the paints you have in your paint box are not necessary the true primary color. For example, phthalo green is a blue-green, sap green is yellow-green while hooker green is probably the closest to plain green, but that is not guaranteed.

I've attached a related link that shows some of the combinations.
