Old Blind Dog Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Can I just add a bunch of white to dark brown and eventually end up with tan, or is it a little more complicated? Old (Color-)Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kozlok Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 That would give you a version of tan. I'd start with a bunch of white and add a bit of brown, it's surprising how little you will need. If the tan is too yellow, add a bit of blue and red (a couple of drops). This will make it look more grey (less yellow). If it's too orange, add a couple drops of blue. Another way to go about it is to start with light yellow (yellow and white) and add bits of blue and red until it looks like what you want. As you add colors from across the color wheel, it reduces the intensity of color, making it closer to grey (or black, depending on how dark your colors are). Brown and Tan are usually low intensity yellow or orange, so red or purple will lower the intesity. Just play around with it a bit on a paper plate in small amounts. It's fun!
