Here I show how to mix 15 new colors, all made from just red, blue, and yellow (the primary colors).

I use acrylic paints here and my mixing tool is… the end of a spoon 😂

These are just some of the colors you can make from the primary colors. All colors can all be made from them.

Hope you enjoy!

    So to be clear, red and blue are not primary colors in terms of pigments (subtractive). I am a visual arts major, so I spoke to my professor about this and she was quite impressed. The thing is, even other traditional art mediums (especially ink and printing based ones) know this, it's just that the RYB model became popular in painting when other pigments were not so easily accessible. Try using cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primaries and you'll be capable of a much larger range, including everything RYB gives you and plenty more that RYB isn't quite capable of. For acrylics I recommend the Amsterdam brand's primary color set, for gouache Holbein is quite good and the cyan is actually more accurate there.

    I would say “tea green” looks more like mint green. Great video, I’m a huge fan of art and appreciate interesting things like this.

    Wow, at first I thought to myself, why should I watch this? It's just a mix of colors I already know! Until you make lavender.. Dang! It is very cool!

    Very novice artist here. Love your shorts. Have started playing with 2 - 3 colors on a daily basis just to see what comes of it. Thank you for helping me better understand color and what can be achieved through simple blending exercises. Especially love your using the flags as a base. So clever.

    If anyone is confused: White is not a color. The spectrum of white to black are shades. White being the epitome of light and black being the absence of light. So depending on how much light is added or subtracted, you get different shades of grey. Adding/subtracting “light” or white/black to the colors, you get different shades (or hues) of the color. So he didn’t add any extra COLORS, he added the element of light to the colors.

    I love the way these are pigmented!💗 What brand of paints are these if you don’t mind me asking?

    I’m learning how colors mix and make from this. This is awesome, I know how lavender is made now.

    "Hey bro what's your favourite colour?" "Penny" "…what?"
  • Please make more of these videos showing how to make colors starting with primaries this is friggin amazing
  • I feel like I’m in my childhood days. I always loved how my grandmother used to teach me all about the colors. Rip grandma, you’ll always be in my heart ❤❤
  • Now do this with Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta, the true primary colours of pigments (subtractive primaries).
