Red is a primary color, you can’t mix 2 to get red.Blue is primary, too, and so is yellow.You can mix any of the above colors to make another color.ie: red and yellow make orange.red and blue make purple.blue and yellow make green.yellow and green make light green.white and red make pink.You can make a darker red by mixing red and green.You can make pink by adding white to red.Hope this helps....
