To mix coral color, you'll typically need a combination of red, yellow, and white. Naphthol red light combined with a little bit of yellow can create a good base, leaning towards orangey.
Here's a general approach:
- Start with Red: Begin with a base of red. A naphthol red light is suggested.
- Add Yellow: Introduce yellow gradually. The amount of yellow will influence the warmth and brightness of the coral. Add small amounts at a time and mix thoroughly to avoid making the color too orange.
- Incorporate White: Add white to lighten the mixture to achieve the desired coral hue. Start with small amounts of white and continue adding until you reach the right tone.
- Adjust as Needed: Check the color and add more red, yellow, or white as needed.
Remember that the precise proportions depend on the specific shades of red and yellow you're using and your desired coral tone. It's best to add small amounts and mix thoroughly between each addition to maintain control over the color.
