Everything mixed.
The original Pelikan K12 paint box contains the three primary colours yellow, cyan blue and magenta red. These cannot be mixed from other colours and are therefore called “primary colours”. From them, in turn, all other colours can be mixed.
For example, yellow and magenta red become orange: (By the way: you mix brown by making orange cloudy, for example with the colour black.)
Green is formed from cyan blue and yellow:
Violet (purple) mixes from magenta red and cyan blue:
The colours mixed from the primary colours form the secondary colours, i.e. green, orange and violet. Mixing a secondary colour with a primary colour creates a so-called tertiary colour. Complementary colours are formed by two opposite colours on the colour wheel because they represent the greatest contrast between two colours.
Everything painted.
Mixing colours on screen is a great thing. But it is much nicer if you can also paint with your colour. All you need is your Pelikan paint box, a drawing pad, some water and a brush. All mixed colours that you could previously try out on the screen can be easily mixed with the original Pelikan opaque colours.
The Pelikan paint box behaves according to the subtractive colour mixing.
Mixed on the screen, painted with Pelikan opaque paints - a brilliant idea!
