How To  Make Yellow

It has been shown in scientific studies that people associate yellow with an increase in muscle energy and higher levels of mental energy. It is also thought to stimulate the nervous system and trigger memory.

Though it’s not strictly possible to make yellow with traditional color theory, we can create a variety of shades of yellow.

Making Yellow Cooler

The first thing we need is a cool yellow shade, such as cadmium yellow light, to use a base. The next thing we need is a cool blue shade.

Cobalt Teal Blue is a very cool and light blue shade. It is similar to turquoise, though cobalt teal blue already has a very strong green bias making it great for mixing a cooler yellow.

How to Make Yellow Warmer

We would say to use cadmium yellow as a base because it is considered a very neutral yellow that has a very small amount of red included.

To create a fiery and warm hue of yellow, you can add a small bit of scarlet to your cadmium yellow for a perfect combination. The amount of red you added will decide the result.
