Magenta, which is a primary color according to Goethe's theory of color subtraction, is produced when blue and red are

Olive - Mixing Cadmium orange and Pthalo blue together creates olive green. Adding more Cadmium orange gives the pigment a
more olive green color, while adding more Pthalo blue yields a bluish-green color. Another option is to blend yellow or ochre
with ivory black. In general, mixing blue and yellow together yields shades of green. It was discovered by accident that adding
yellow to black gives a dark, earthy green color. Olive is a muddy green color. When gray is added to yellow, the various shades
of the color olive are produced. Some dark shades of olive can also be made by mixing darker colors, like brown, with green.
Lavender - Mix in both black and white. This will create a grayish lavender color, as dark or light as you like. Add more
magenta to move towards a pinker purple. Add more blue or cyan to push your purple toward violet.
Light purple - Whether you mixed your purple paint by using red and blue or magenta and cyan, adding white will make it
lighter and brighter. Add just a little paint at first, and then gradually mix in more to achieve the hue you want. Adding as
