If you want to use a beige (light brown) paint and you don't have any, which two colours do you mix together to get the desired result?

Black, yellow and white? :confused:

Worth a try!

No Swearing!

Ok, we have no Brown! (<<<not even a shade of brown!)

I have a feeling it is red and something that makes brown, is it red and green?

Nice to see my contributions are appreciated...

You said you didn't have any beige, you didn't say that you didn't have any brown. I would ask my da for the other combination but I suddenly don't feel like bothering.

Green & Red should give you brown.

Got any drinking chocolate?

I'm sure I used to make brown from yellow black and red but my daughter reckons you can make it from the primary colours red, blue and yellow too.

Well...

Red + Green = Brown

Yellow + Blue = Green

so logic would dictate that...

Red + Yellow + Blue = Brown

Thanks guys

I don't think it's considered a swearword :confused:

I like the Festivus quote by the way

Generally if you just mix up a random assortment of colours it turns brown eventually.

This advice comes from my young days of just mashing a blob of paint on a page together, trying to make a butterfly or something.

iamdjdz · 18 Dec 2006 at 22:12

red and green does not make beige...

You need white with that

haha

Oh dear, I read that and instantly mentally inserted the noise of a cracking whip.

You learn something new every day, it must be an English slang thing.
