How are the colors pink and brown produced?

I'm talking about light so the primary colors would be red blue and green and the complimentary colors would be magenta cyan and yellow. So how do you make pink and brown???

How are the colors pink and brown produced?
In pigments (painting), your primaries are red, yellow and blue, and the complementaries are green, purple and orange.





The RBG combination refers to computer/TV monitors and CMY are lithography printing primaries - they are not complementary to each other as they refer to different technologies = In other words, the three primaries listed are as different as apples, oranges and bananas.





Nevertheless, pink in any technology is made from Red + white so the only oddball here would be CMY, and that mixture would be M+Y+White (white generally being the blank paper).





In all technologies there are many different browns - leaning toward blue (shadow), green (new earth), red (rust), yellow (ochre) purple (caput mortuum), orange (clay) In painting, each of these colours is a pigment on its own - but in printing/monitor technology, brown would be produced by a combination of all the primaries in varying degrees so as to lean toward one of the above colours. Equal portions of all 3 primaries will result in black, or something very close to it.
Reply:pink is made with red and white,,, brown can be almost any mixture of secondary colors such as green and orange,, ....
Reply:A pink should be able to be created with a red that is highly overexposed to light or with a very strong light source behind it. In paint brown is made by combining all of the primary colors, the different levels of each producing the different browns. I'm not sure that it is possible to get a brown with light.

all the colors and a bit of black = brown





happy painting
