Can you make purple out of blue and pink?
So yes, blue and red will make purple, but the purple shade depends heavily on the types of blue and red you use. Purple is a secondary color, and to create vivid secondary colors, you must use only two primary shades.
Does pink make purple?
Pink and purple shades are related to each other as they are tertiary colors, so when purple and pink are mixed together, the resulting color is magenta or light plum paint.
You can really create a wonderful sense of playfulness in your art when you combine pink with warm colors like red and orange. These colors together work well and do not overwhelm you visually. If you want to achieve a rich, positive atmosphere, use a darker, or more hot pink combined with a bright red hue.
How do you make purple out of blue?
There’s no practical way to make a clean blue shade from purple. You can make a purple progressively more blue by adding blue or cyan, however, this will result in a duller (desaturated) blue. If you add green to purple this will result in grey or black.
Mixing blue and purple colors together creates blue-violet color. The world would be boring in black and white and that is why we have colors to make it more interesting.
THAT PERFECT PASTEL PINK HAIR
Pastel hair is an all-time classic see Anne-Marie and Lizzo for inspo. To get that all-time perfect pink, you’ll need to lift your hair as light as possible before applying any colour. If you’re anything from dark brown to light blonde, we would recommend bleaching your hair to get the truest to the bottle shade. Our Crazy Color Bleaching Kit can lift your hair 6+ levels to ensure you’ve got the perfect base level.
All of our Pink Semi-Permanents have a warm tone to them, but if you are looking for something a bit cooler, our brand ambassador Norman recommends that you add a few drops of Lavender to any of our Pink Semi-Permanents: you’ll bring down the tone so its cool and calm rather than warm and vibrant.
Crazy Color Candy Floss is a feel-good fave! This fun-loving shade could be described as creamy bubblegum pink when used alone, it is also a great option for mixing! If you’re looking for a pastel pink with a punch, mix your Candy Floss with Fire! Fire is an intense red that will amp up that pink colour:
“add a small squirt of this punchy shade as it goes a really long way when mixed with Candy Floss. Less is definitely more when you’re creating punch pastel shades!”
– thank you once again Norman, for this one!
GO PINK OR GO HOME ?
Pinkissimo is one of our best-selling shades and a long-time Crazy Color staple. It gives a super vibrant shade of pink that is completely addictive!
“Use a few drops of Pink Power Pigment when using Pinkissimo for more of a matt finish”
– Brand Ambassador Becky Sutherland.
The punchy and bright Pinkissimo that we all know and love with a matte finish? Sign. Us. Up!
CYCLAMEN – THE PRO FAVOURITE!
Cyclamen is the most delicious rich shade of Pink, well-loved for its depth, but if you want to intensify the shade even further, add a few drops of Natural Black to the mix! This method is recommended by our Brand Ambassador Amber Letham who loves our Natural Black to add depth to many Crazy Color shades.
If you want to have a pink that stands out from the crowd, our Rebel UV is a must-try! This shade will glow wherever your go. Mix it into any of our Pinks to give them a kick of vibrancy that you are going to love.
“My favourite Crazy Color pink shades are Rebel UV and Cyclamen. I love mixing Rebel UV with a few dots of Cyclamen. I like the vibrancy and UV activation of Rebel UV and the depth of Cyclamen.” – Brand Ambassador, Mikey Ferrer Jr.
Want to turn up the volume on the colour? Leave the dye in for longer before you rinse it out.
If in-your-face colour is what you’re after, leave the dye in for longer before rinsing it out over the sink. You could leave it for half an hour or longer to get that full on intense colour hit!
We use an ammonia free, paraben free, gentle and conditioning formula, so leaving the dye in for longer won’t damage your hair. Your hair will be smooth and shiny and ready to turn heads.
Leaving the dye in for longer does increase the staying power of the colour, so get ready to rock that hair colour for a few weeks or more!
After a darker colour? Try mixing colours together.
Mixing two (or more) of the dyes together tends to deepen the overall colour. Go for similar colours, put them into a bowl and mix them together before you apply to your hair, adding the most of the colour you want the final result to resemble more closely.
Dreaming of a slightly different shade? Get creative with mixing to customise your own colour!
Let your imagination guide you and play around with colour combinations to find your perfect shade. You can mix in conditioner as well to lighten the colour and achieve a more pastel look.
Maybe it’s pastel pink with a dash of silver for a dusty pink look, or half red, half purple for a deep maroon violet. The sky’s the limit!
