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

    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

    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
