The fascinating world of colors

Surely you know that the three primary colors are:

• Le rouge 
• Le jaune et 
• The blue 

You probably remember:

• That a mixture of red and yellow gives orange.
• That a mixture of red and blue gives purple, and even …
• That a mixture of yellow and blue gives green.

But have you tried to mix the latter two by two?

You will get amazing mixtures:

• Orange + purple gives red ochre (or burnt sienna)
• Orange + green gives yellow ocher (or natural sienna)
• Green + Purple gives Payne's Gray (or bluish gray)

Try these mixtures, you will be surprised with the result!

A little advice: add a little white to your mixtures to make each result more convincing.

See you soon !
