You'll need a variety of pigments, a small bowl or palette, a palette- knife or spoon, a combining tool, and some paper or a small piece of your crafting material to test your colours on.
-
Start with essential Colours:
Red, blue, and yellow are the vital colours to start with. Multiple various colours can be produced by mixing these. For example, mix blue and yellow to get green, or mix red and yellow to get orange.
-
Add Small Volumes:
Carefully add small amounts of pigment to the overall mixture. Darkening a colour is easier than whitening it. To achieve the right shade, start with the lighter colour and add the darker colour little by little.
-
Check Your Combination:
Make sure it fits before using your mixed colour on a piece of paper or craft material. Before applying a pigment to your project, verify that you see the real result as it can vary in look once it cures.

Experiment and Entertain You:
Don't be afraid to try something new! Creativity is crucial when combining colours. For lighter shades, try mixing in a small amount of white, or just a little black.
Following these simple guidelines, you can create unique colours that perfectly express your idea. Happy creating and enjoy the process!
