What colors do you mix together to make yellow?

Nothing can be mixed to create yellow, as yellow is a primary color, assuming you're asking about paint. (subtractive)

But if you're working with colours, as the below example specifies, green and red light mix to make yellow light. (additive)

Another view: sorry that's wrong...otherwise on a component feed into your TV there would also be a Yellow lead. To give you a clue there is R, G, B meaning Red, Green and Blue, no yellow surprise surprise, try again.. Red and green make yellow, Yellow is not a primary colour....Red, Green and Blue are the only primary colours.

Describe the moon?

The Moon is Earth's only known natural satellite,[nb 4][6] and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having a quarter the diameter of Earth and 1⁄81 its mass.[nb 5] The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, a satellite of Jupiter. It is in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing the same face; the near side is marked with dark volcanic maria among the bright ancient crustal highlands and prominentimpact craters. It is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although its surface is actually very dark, with a similar reflectance to coal. Its prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have since ancient times made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day. The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth, causes it to appear almost the same size in the sky as the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipses.

Why do artists use colour?

Artists use color for many reasons:

  • to express emotion
  • to add realism to a piece of art
  • to contrast different objects or areas in a piece of art
  • to help certain parts of a piece of art stand out, and seem bolder
  • to convey the beauty of an object/scene (because of/by using color)
  • for other reasons that may apply...

What is the value of a painting done by D Armstrong in 1967?

Duane Armstrong is a California artist and lives in Boulder Creek, California (as of 2007). I have a large collection of his oil paintings and his limited edition prints. The second answer down from this states correctly that he signs his art work as D. Armstrong, but the answer about a ladybug being in ALL his paintings is false. He started drawing a ladybug in A FEW of his Fields of Grass series, so some of those have a ladybug, while others do not. An interesting story that Duane told me is that a woman bought one of his FIELDS in a Monterey galley ... that panting did not have the ladybug and when she saw it in another one, she wanted one, too, so asked the dealer if Duane could draw one in for her. I can't recall if he did or not, but being an agreeable artist and a nice man, he most likely did. I don't know the answer to your question; in fact, I was searching for values of his paintings (I think his name is Dwayne). I have some small silkscreen prints that have original signatures on the back. I worked in an office back in the late 60's that had three or four of his paintings -- all very large abstracts with vibrant colors. Later he did landscape type paintings. I remember seeing one of his works as a premium in the old S&H or Blue Chip trading stamp catalog. The office was in Campbell, California, and I got the impression that he was in that vicinity (San Jose). Yes, Duane Armstrong signs his name as D. Armstrong. You can tell his paintings by looking for a ladybug. He put one in everyone of his paintings. I have an original of "Tree House" and I was wondering how much it is worth in today's market.

What color do you get when you mix cyan and green?

Mixing Cyan and Green creates a color listed by ADOBE as being called Green-Cyan. When painting it may be useful to remember that because Cyan pigments are often stronger than Green Pigments the Cyan will usually be dominant and should be used in a lesser amount to achieve an even mix between the two colors.

In the CMYK colorspace the pure hue of Green-Cyan without any tinting or shade is described as 100 Cyan, 0 Magenta, 50 Yellow and 0 K. In the RGB colorspace it is described as 30 Red, 168 Green, and 156 Blue, and in the HSB colorspace it is 175 Hue, 82 Saturation, and 66 Brightness.
