Step 1: Begin with White Paint
The first step in creating a salmon pink color is to start with a base of white paint. Squeeze some white paint onto your paint palette or any clean surface you are using as a palette.
Step 2: Add Red Paint
Next, add a small amount of red paint to the white paint on your palette. Start with a conservative amount, as you can always add more later if needed. Mix the red and white paints together using a paintbrush or a palette knife until you achieve a light pink shade.
Step 3: Introduce Yellow Paint
To create the salmon hue, you will need to bring in some yellow paint. Mix a tiny amount of yellow paint into the pink mixture on your palette. Be cautious with the amount of yellow paint you add, as a little goes a long way. Stir the paints together until you achieve the desired salmon pink color.
Step 4: Test and Adjust
Once you have mixed the pink and yellow paints, it’s time to test the color. Take a small amount of the mixture and paint it on a clean surface. Allow it to dry or use a hairdryer to speed up the drying process. Analyze the dried color and assess if it matches the salmon pink shade you were aiming for. If needed, make adjustments by adding more red or yellow paint to the mix until you achieve the perfect color.
