Mixing Black with Other Colors

Hello, little artist! Today, we are going to have some fun with colors. Do you know what happens when we mix black with other colors? Let’s find out together!

What Happens When We Mix Colors?

Colors are like magic! When we mix them, they can change and become new colors. Black is a special color because it can make other colors look darker and more mysterious. Let’s see how it works!

Mixing Black with Red

If you take some red paint and mix it with a little bit of black, you get a color called dark red. It looks like the color of a deep, dark cherry. Isn’t that cool?

Mixing Black with Blue

Now, let’s try mixing blue with black. When you do this, you get a color called navy blue. It looks like the night sky when the stars are shining. Wow!

Mixing Black with Yellow

What happens if we mix yellow with black? You get a color called olive green. It looks like the leaves on a tree. Nature is amazing!

Fun Activity: Try It Yourself!

Now it’s your turn! Ask a grown-up to help you get some paints. Try mixing black with different colors and see what new colors you can create. Remember, just a little bit of black can change a color a lot!

Have fun exploring and creating your own colorful world. Happy painting!

  • What is your favorite color, and how do you think it would change if you mixed it with black? Can you imagine what the new color might look like?
  • Have you ever seen colors in nature that remind you of the colors we talked about, like dark red cherries or navy blue skies? Where did you see them?
  • Why do you think mixing colors is like magic? Can you think of other things that change when you mix them together?
  1. Color Mixing Adventure: Gather some colored paper or crayons. Try to find objects around your home or classroom that match the colors you create by mixing black with other colors. For example, look for something that is dark red, navy blue, or olive green. Can you find objects that match these colors? Share your discoveries with your friends or family!

  2. Paint and Predict: Before mixing black with another color, make a prediction about what the new color will look like. Will it be lighter or darker? Write down or draw your prediction. Then, mix the colors and see if your prediction was correct. This will help you understand how black changes other colors.

  3. Color Detective: Go on a color hunt outside! Look at the colors in nature, like the leaves, sky, and flowers. Can you find colors that look like they have a little bit of black mixed in? Take notes or draw pictures of what you find. Discuss with a friend or family member how black might have changed these colors.
