Sue, I use orange and blue, the more blue you use the darker it gets or you can use red yellow and blue

Let the children do it, whatever colours they have always end up brown! sorry:blush:

That's my theory! I add a bit of everything & it always ends up brown!

I usually start with orange & green (which is the same as red, yellow & blue!), then add black and/or white until I get the brown I want :thumbsup:

I am going to buy mine tomorrow! We will have used up all the green by the end of the day anyway because we are doing lots of hand prints for a wreath.

3 primary colours:

red yellow blue

red + yellow = orange
red + blue = purple
yellow + blue = green
yellow + blue + red = brown
