Which colours do you mix to make green paint?
A
Red and yellow
B
Blue and yellow
C
Blue and red
D
Purple and orange
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because blue paint and yellow paint both reflect middle (green appearing) wavelengths when blue and yellow paint are mixed together, the mixture appears green.

Detailed explanation-2: -To make green paint, a painter mixes yellow paint and blue paint in the ratio of 3:2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Now you know the answer: the primary colors blue and yellow make green, however they form different shades of green, depending on what type of “ingredient” colors you use. Picking a yellow or blue paint with more red will yield a browner, more olive green result.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike some combinations that result in something new, the combo of yellow and green gives us what is known as a tertiary color. In more basic words, we get what is known as yellow-green. It’s exactly what it sounds like, as it is a green with a yellow undertone (or a yellow with a green undertone.)
