What Colors Make Pink?
Pink is made by adding white to red. A red that leans purple gives a cool pink; an orange-red gives a warm pink like salmon or coral. In printing, pink comes from a lightened magenta.
-
Pink
red + white
Add the red to the white, never the other way round: a little red tints a lot of white.
-
Pale pink
pink + plenty of white
The same pink, lightened further: add white a little at a time until it is as soft as you want.
-
Coral pink
pink + a little orange
A pink warmed up with a little orange: the more you add, the closer you get to coral.
-
Fuchsia pink
red + a touch of purple + a little white
A red cooled down with a touch of purple and barely lightened; a magenta paint gets you there directly.
-
Old rose
pink + a touch of brown
A touch of brown tones the pink down and gives it that soft, slightly faded look.
Depending on your supplies
Colored pencils
With pencils, you don’t mix: you layer. Lay down the lightest shade in light strokes, then the darker one on top, without pressing. To lighten pink, finish with a white pencil; to darken it, add a touch of grey or of its opposite color.
Markers
Water-based markers don’t blend well: pick the right shade straight away. With alcohol markers, go over a darker shade with a lighter one while it is still wet to soften the transition.
Watercolor
Mix on the palette, not on the paper. For a lighter shade, add water rather than white: the white of the paper does the lightening.
Paint
Acrylic or gouache: always add the dark color to the light one, a little at a time. Write down the amounts so you can find your shade again.
