Cyan can be mixed using specific blue pigments as not all flavors of blue are made from the same pigment.

The exact proportions have to be determined with careful experimentation. Start with a 2:1 mixture of whites (2 parts Zinc to 1 part Titanium). Add very small amounts of the blues beginning with Phthalo. Phthalo Blue has a very strong tinting strength and the smallest amounts will greatly effect the mixture.

Cyan Blue => Ultramarine Blue (PB29) + Phthalo Blue (PB15) + Zinc White(PW4) + Titanium White(PW6) => Cyan Blue

The inclusion of Zinc White is important for bringing out the hue. It is the most transparent of the whites with one significant caveat....it is prone to brittle cracking and flaking away. The Titanium mixture increases its durability and opacity.

What colors make cyan blue?

In mixing paint and in printing, cyan blue is a primary color, meaning it can't be mixed, instead you need it pure to mix other colors. But you can mix a lookalike by adding turquoise to ultramarine paint. If you want to use it as a primary color, better get cyan blue in a tube though. (a mixture won't be pure enough)
