More Vibrant Mixing with the Primaries Plus Two
In theory, combining the primary colours red, yellow, and blue should yield a limitless palette.
However, due to pigment limitations, more is needed for nuanced mixing.
The solution? Choose cool-toned primaries, then add white for tinting and deep green for licenced blacks.
Alizarin crimson, phthalo blue, and lemon yellow produce an astounding spectrum. Finally, phthalo or viridian green completes the palette.
Unlock Your Full Potential with Warm and Cool Versions
Are you ready to truly master colour mixing? Include both a warm and cool version of each primary colour. This exploits the strengths of each temperature for vibrant results.
A palette with alizarin crimson, cadmium red light, phthalo blue, ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow light, viridian green, and titanium white will yield richer blends.
Vary temperatures as you see fit. Flesh tones gain life, and landscapes pop.
