You can create pink by mixing red and white pigment powders.
The Basics of Mixing Pink Pigment
The primary method for making pink involves combining red and white pigments. This simple technique allows for a wide range of pink shades, depending on the proportions used.
How to Adjust the Shade of Pink:
- Lighter Pink: Add more white pigment to the mixture. The greater the amount of white, the paler the resulting pink will be.
- Intense Pink: Increase the amount of red pigment. Adding more red will create a deeper, more vibrant pink.
- Experimentation: Because you control the amounts, you can experiment with different combinations to achieve the exact shade of pink you desire.

You should use a clean palette or mixing surface and a palette knife or brush, and mix the pigments slowly, gradually adding more of one colour at a time to get the correct shade of pink.
