Red and blue...does it everyday in art...red, blue and yellow are primary colors...we mix them to get secondary colors or tertiary colors...u can abtain every color except black and white
What colours are to be mixed in order to get violet colour?
blue and red, white too. specifically i like phalo blue + aliziron crimson+ a little titanium white. that combo makes the most beautiful color. i love it. :)
Reply:blue and red I guess.

Reply:Red %26amp; blue (with more red)

Reply:Blue and red- to get purple
Add ceramic white to purple to the violet colour you want. =D
Reply:Red and blue. More red than blue to get a true violet. Just a note-violet is purple. It is the term used in the art world for purple. It is not lavender or lilac or any other tint-it is purple.
Reply:you are best to use a warm red such as magenta, with cobalt or cerulean blue, then adjust tone with white(lighter) or blue(darker) to get the shade you prefer.
Reply:If you want just purple, blue and red is perfect, but if you want a violet, blue and pink, if lighter or darker you wish to have just add a little bit of white and very litle black.

Anyone know how to properly care for an AFRICAN VIOLET?
I have flourishing african violets, so I'll tell you what I do:
1. African violet food in their water every month or so.
2. They need a special pot where the water sits in a bowl, and the african violet sits in a very porous (water gets through) bowl inside the first bowl.
3. Keep the water in the outer bowl full.
4. Pick off dead leaves %26amp; flowers.
5. Bright sunshine. Mine are in a bright morning sun window.
6. Family--for some reason, mine are happiest when they're near other plants--like ivy or other violets. But don't let the other plants block the sunlight. They've got to have sunshine.
7. If you see little black bugs about, remove the top 1/2" of soil from each plant and replace it with fresh, new soil.
Take care!

Oh, I forgot. They love steam, like showers' steam, but they hate water on their leaves. Report It
Reply:Contrary to popular opinion, AVs are not too tough to grow. They really need three things: food, moisture, and LIGHT. For food - a good AV fertilizer with a ratio of about 10 - 20 - 10 usually works well. Moisture: the soil should be good-quality AV potting soil; it should stay moist but not wet. A violet should NEVER sit in water longer than an hour. Light is key to getting your violet to bloom. It needs lots of INDIRECT light, or fluorescent light; direct sunlight will FRY it. The best light is from the top, rather than the sides, so the crown of the violet will grow symmetrically.
When it blooms, remove spent blooms to encourage more blooming. If you see suckers coming up on the sides, remove them (you can root them if you want to). That will also keep the crown healthy and symmetrical
Temperature should be around 70F; humidity of 40-50% is best if you can manage it.
It's pretty straight-forward, and they're very nice plants to have around the house.

Reply:African violets are more dependent on regular care than most other house plants. They "sulk" quite obviously when they are dry or cold. The plants flower best in bright light, but not in extreme heat and humidity. They bloom well in east or west windows or under fluorescent lights. The preferred daytime temperature is 72 degrees F. Night temperatures should not fall below 62 degrees F.
African violets are extremely sensitive to dryness, so it is wise to check the soil moisture daily. Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, but before it becomes hard. Never apply cold water to African violets. It can cause irregular-shaped, white-colored spots to form on the foliage. Use lukewarm water or fill your watering can after each watering and let it sit, so you will have room-temperature water on hand.
You may water African violets from either the top or the bottom. When watering from the top, keep water off the leaves and make sure the plant is watered deeply. A small amount of excess water should flow out of the drainage hole. Pour off the excess water. When watering from the bottom, remove pots from the water dish as soon as the soil surface shows moisture. Leaving the pot standing in water will cause the soil to become saturated, eliminating the air spaces that are essential for healthy root growth.
If you normally water from the bottom, occasionally switch to top watering to prevent the accumulation of crusty, white salts on the soil surface and edge of the pots. Leaf stems (petioles) can become soft or discolored when they contact soluble salts on the pot rim. This problem occurs most often when the plant is in a porous clay pot. A soil mix that promotes good drainage helps. A good mix contains 2 parts peat moss to 1 part perlite.
You may put your African violet on a self-watering system to ensure a constant, optimum level of moisture. The wick method of watering uses capillary action to draw water into the soil. Several companies sell water-wicking systems, or you may construct your own.
An easy self-watering system can be constructed by inserting an asbestos-glass water wick into one of the drainage holes of a pot. Or old nylon stockings can be braided and used instead. Set the pot on a water reservoir made from heavy plastic, such as a large-sized, whipped margarine container. Prepare the container lid by making two holes -- one for the wick to reach the water and a larger one for supplying fresh water. This is a highly efficient system for carefree watering. However, the plants should be periodically watered from the top to flush accumulated minerals from the soil.
African violets need a regular supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, manganese, and zinc. A liquid, African violet fertilizer (1-2-1 ratio) is easy to use and specially packaged. It's best to apply this fertilizer every two to four weeks according to the manufacturer's direction.

Eye shadow color best for violet eyes?

Eye shadow color best for violet eyes?
If you really have violet eyes, I wouldn't do a thing to them. Okay, maybe a little mascara, but mostly just leave them alone. Let everyone know that this is the natural, unadorned color, not some optical illusion from eye shadow. I've only met one person in my life who really had violet eyes, and frankly, no one who met her could take their eyes off hers.
I would close with "good luck," but it is obvious that you have plenty of that already. Just be yourself.
Reply:Wow, your eyes must be beautiful. I'm jealous. I would think a smoky gray would be pretty.
Reply:Wow you have violet eyes? Your eyes must be gorgeous then. Well since thats already makes them "individual" I would just recommend a little gray eyeliner and either light pink and light brown eyeshadow or purple and a medium brown eyeshadow. But personally I wouldn't wear any makeup. Half the time my eyes are a orange color and they stand out already so I don't wear makeup and even when they're back to being light brown, I just wear natural colors. By the way, you're really lucky to have violet eyes.
Reply:you have violet eyes? thats so kool.
if they are light try black
if they are dark maybe turquise
Reply:Green helps to accentuate the purple within your eyes and make them look more purple.

Reply:In Chinese painting, the color violet represents the harmony of the universe because it is a combination of red (yang) and blue (yin).
In the metaphysics of the New Age Prophetess, Alice A. Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies humans into seven different metaphysical personality types, the seventh ray of ceremonial order is represented by the color violet. People who have this metaphysical personality type are said to be on the Violet Ray.
Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that those who are practicing occultists (magickal thaumaturgists) often have a violet aura. [4] It is said that people with violet auras are forward looking visionaries who may be in occupations such as performance artist, photographer, venture capitalist, astronaut, futurist, or quantum physicist.
Violet is the color associated with the New Age deity Saint Germain.
The Invocation of the Violet Flame is a system of meditation practice used in the "I AM" Activity and by the Church Universal and Triumphant. It is believed to be invoked from Saint Germain and practicing it is part of these religions' devotion to Saint Germain
Reply:In Chinese culture, violet represents harmony because it is a mixture of red (representing yang) and blue (representing yin). If the person in question is not Chinese, then it's likely that they think violet just looks cool.

In a gram stain, what happens when the application of the crystal violet and safranin stains are reversed?
well, you will stain the bacteria red/pink with safranin first. then you use the iodine for a mordant. then decolorize with the ethanol. and then stain the bacteria blue with crystal violet..
if it is a gram negative bacteria, it will seem like a gram positive now, because it is blue.
this way sucks, because crystal violet is not good to be a counterstain. you need the crystal violet to be first. and the safranin last.

Has anyone ever heard of using Gentian Violet in your ear?
I have had reaccurent ear infections in my ear on and off for 4 months now...am slowly losing my hearing over it all....the doctor used Gentian Violet in my ear...itches like crazy....never heard of it used for this before...
Has anyone ever heard of using Gentian Violet in your ear?
This is an old remedy, used way back in the sixties and seventies before better drugs were available. Nevertheless, it is effective. It is messy, though. Gentian violet is also used for thrush and for skin infections.
