HW emergency: our art teacher required us to express a colour wheel creatively? I need some colour names too?

I know that red and green make brown, but what about:

Blue and orange?

Yellow and Violet?

HW emergency: our art teacher required us to express a colour wheel creatively? I need some colour names too?
Remember the base for your wheel should contain the primary colors in a circle with spaces between them.

(Blue, red, yellow) If you know that green and red make brown, then you should know to first make green from blue and yellow.

Blue and Red make Purple.

Yellow and Red make Orange.

Yellow and Blue make Green.

After these colors are formed:

White added to these colors Make:

Blue + white = light blue

Red + white = pink

Light blue + pink = Lavender (extra blue Lavender blue)

Two parts yellow and one part blue = Lime Green.

Pink and Yellow = peach

Two parts pink + one part yellow = flesh.
Reply:You just listed the complimentary colors. They all lie opposite each other on the wheel and do make brown when mixed.



Great start. 99% of all advertisements use at least one of the combos you listed. The eye goes crazy when it sees such a blend.



Hope this helps in some way. Good luck!
