It is not possible to make the color red by mixing other colors because red is a primary color. Primary colors are the base colors that cannot be created by combining other colors. To get red, you must start with pure red pigment or paint. However, if looking to create different shades or variations of red, you can mix red with other colors:
- For cooler reds, mix red with a small amount of blue to produce violet-red.
- For warmer reds, mix red with yellow to create orange-red.
- To make darker red shades, mix red with black or brown tones.
- To make lighter shades or pinks, mix red with white.
- To mute red, add small amounts of green.
So, to have red color, start with pure red. Then modify its shade by mixing with colors like blue, yellow, white, black, or green to get your desired variation of red.
