Materials List:<\/strong> Test Mixing Results from Tutorial #4, Handout #5<\/a> (Download PDF), Box of 64 Crayola Crayons. Color Handout #5 with Scarlet, Magenta, Cerulean, Green, Violet (Purple), and Yellow. Notice the colors I chose for the secondaries are a hybrid of the RYB and CMY system.<\/p>\n Make small samples<\/strong> of each of the primaries that you used to make the secondaries and position them on the triangle where you think they should be in relation to the crayon colors.<\/p>\n The primary colors shown in the example are Premo primaries Cad Red, Magenta, Cobalt, Turquoise, Zinc Yellow and Cad Yellow. Put all the secondary test mixes on the triangle.<\/strong> Position each color in relation to the crayon secondaries. Note:<\/em> There is no crayon for MUD – yet. If the mix is muddy put it inside the triangle. If the mix is clear put it on the outer lines of the triangle.<\/p>\n Analyze the results<\/strong> separately for each secondary test mix starting with the purples. It is a secondary – an orange-red (magenta with lots of yellow.) All the yellow in Cad Red is mixing with the blues to make MUD.<\/p>\n Turquoise and Cad Red have yellow undertones. Cobalt has a little magenta. Fuchsia has a little cyan.<\/p>\n Compare how far each color pulls the other.<\/strong> Some are bully colors and some are wimps. Cad Red is much stronger than Turquoise and a little stronger than Cobalt. Cobalt is much stronger than Fuchsia. Fuchsia is stronger than Turquoise.<\/p>\n The greens mixed with Cad Yellow have some MUD coming from its magneta(red) undertone.<\/p>\n The colors mixed with Zinc are clearer. But notice that Premo Turquoise seems to have some white in it and that it is much weaker than Cobalt. The oranges are not orange. The Cad Red is so strong it completely takes over and the half and half mixes look just like Cad Red.<\/p>\n And the half and half mixes with the yellows and Fuchsia are reds not oranges.<\/p>\n There is not much undertone in Zinc.<\/p>\n It is easier to see the tinting strengths and undertones<\/strong> if you mix the secondaries with 1\/2 white and then compare the results.<\/p>\n Purples<\/strong><\/p>\n Cobalt\/Fuchsia – Clear, Cobalt much stronger<\/p>\n Cobalt\/Cad Red – Muddy, Cad Red stronger<\/p>\n Turquoise\/Fuchsia – Clear, equal strength?<\/p>\n Turquoise\/Cad Red – Muddy, Cad Red much stronger<\/p>\n![\"triangle-with-primaries.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/maggiemaggio.com\/color\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/triangle-with-primaries.jpg\" "\\"triangle-with-primaries.jpg\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe purples show the most variation. Lots of MUD in the colors mixed with Cad Red. That’s because Cad Red is really not a primary.<\/p>\n<\/a>The greens show some variation but not as much as the purples.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
