These are some of the more common colours that you get from mixing primary colours:

Red and blue makes purple (add a little white to get lilac, mauve etc.)

Blue and yellow makes green.

Red, blue and a little yellow makes brown.

Red and yellow makes orange.

Beyond these basics, you need black and white as well, to get darker and lighter shades - red and white for pink, blue and a little black for navy blue etc.

There is a website on colour theory which can start you off with some more detailed ideas about colour mixing. It's at painting/ colour theory

The main thing to remember is to add a very, very little colour at a time -you can always add more, but you can't take it out once it's mixed.

I have a yellow base, I need to mix a color with the yellow base to make a shade of purple or violet. I also need to mix a color with the yellow base to make a shade of blue.

Just mix the same amount of both colors to make a new color. Example:when you mix red and white it makes pink.

No matter what colors you mix together as long as their different colors they will make different colors get some small water colors and mix away or get some crayola finger paints and mix those together
