Yellow is a vibrant, bright color that can make a real impact. So, you can use yellow in your artwork to great effect. But that means you need to know how to mix it – so, what colors make yellow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is that yellow is a primary color, meaning you can\u2019t make it by mixing other colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s a bit more complicated than that. So, let\u2019s dive into color theory and learn about how to make the color yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019ll guide you through how to make different shades of yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to find out all the details about what colors make yellow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Color Yellow: Bright, Joyful & Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The color yellow brings a smile to most people. It\u2019s such a fun and bright color, full of energy and vivacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow has many meanings, including hope and joy. It\u2019s not a surprise, as yellow is the color of the sun, which literally lights up the world. It\u2019s a warm, rich color on the color wheel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have found that the color yellow can be stimulating and even affect our moods<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s also the color of many beautiful flowers and other things found in nature, like butterflies. So, this color is one of the happiest around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the shade, yellow can be very intense and saturated. So, it\u2019s sure to grab your attention. But in some cases, it can be too bright and overwhelming. (Think neon yellow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes, yellow is a warning sign of danger. For example, bees use it to warn people away, and it\u2019s also a common color for road signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for the most part, yellow has positive connotations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Make the Color Yellow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You probably know that the color yellow is a primary color, alongside red and blue. And you can\u2019t make a primary color by mixing other colors together. It\u2019s simply not possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learn this rule in grade school, and it gets buried deep in our brains. So, it can inform our understanding of colors throughout our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But color theory is more detailed than it might seem at first. And that\u2019s because there\u2019s more than one color model or system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, only the subtractive color system has the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the additive color system applies when you mix different colored lights. And it works differently from the traditional or subtractive color system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary colors in the additive color system are red, green, and blue. Did you notice there\u2019s no mention of yellow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in that case, it\u2019s possible to make the color yellow according to the additive system. All you need is two colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Two Colors Combined Make Yellow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, now you know it\u2019s possible to make the color yellow (at least in certain conditions). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what two colors can you mix to get yellow? The answer is that you\u2019ll need to mix two primary colors from the additive system – red and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you mix red and green light, you\u2019ll make yellow light. That\u2019s because green and red have different wavelengths. Combined, they create the same wavelength as yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
