What Colours Make Purple?
Mixing blue and red together makes purple. The colour of your hue will be determined by the amount of blue and red you add to it. For instance, when more red is added to your purple, it will become redder; when more blue is added, it will become bluer.
Making Cooler Purple Colours
To cool down your purple hue, use more blue. The most crucial thing to remember if you do go down this route is which blue to select. It’s usually a good idea to utilize the same blue you employed in the first place when making a new purple colour. It should be a warm blue, or your purple hue will become muddy.
It’s also a good idea to only add a little bit of blue at a time to your purple. A tiny amount of paint may drastically alter the colour, and if you put in too much blue all at once, you’ll have to add more red to get it back to your ideal hue.
Making Warmer Purple Colours
The best way to make a warmer purple is to add a little more red. You should utilize the same red that you used in your purple base, and it should be cooler; otherwise, your purple will get muddy. Keep in mind that if you want your purple shade to be more red, begin with a little bit and gradually add more in until you are satisfied.
The opposite of bright colours are muted colours. In some works, you don’t need a particularly vibrant purple colour – a muted shade may work better. Muted purples can be used to highlight a painting just as well as bright colours. Muted colours are made by using the colour at hand (in this case, purple) and mixing it with its complementary colour (in this case the complementary colour to purple is yellow). You can achieve several muted shades of purple by combining different shades of purple with different shades of yellow.
