Red is a primary color, meaning it cannot be made by mixing other colors. Therefore, to make red paint, you'll need to start with pure red paint. You can then adjust the shade by mixing in small amounts of other colors, such as:
- Yellow: Mixing red with yellow creates shades of orange, allowing you to lighten the red or create a more vibrant hue.
- Blue: Adding blue to red results in shades of purple or violet, giving a darker and cooler tone.
- Black: Mixing black with red will darken the shade, producing deeper tones like maroon or burgundy.
- White: Adding white will lighten the red, creating shades like pink or coral.
Remember, the amount of color you add will determine how much the shade changes. Start with small amounts and gradually increase until you achieve the desired result.
