Do these paint colors make plain white?

[chaisteatrouble]

I'm a painter, once you mix a bunch of colors together you're never gonna get white as a result it will either be some type of gray or brown depending on the colors you mix

[ultramarinebluu]

It's grayish. That explains the colors neutralizing each other and with lots of white. Yep. Tho it's not plain white. The lightings (which is a bit dark) makes it look lighter than gray

[AbdelAziz]

I have been a painter for over 23 years and when you mix a bunch of random colors you always get some kind of grey.

[ravenofthemist]

As a traditional artist and Graphic design major I can 100% agree that this is definitely how you make thousands of people waste their time and decieve them

“Plain white.”

Light gray: *“I don’t exist.”*

[curtisbadio]

This shade of gray is now called “rainbow white”

[TheGoldenGuard]

To the people who say this is light gray, look harder
ITS OBVIOUSLY DARK WHITE

[tinyriss]

if you think of color theory, this is actually just a very very light shade of black. in other words, it’s grey, not white.

[itsfantomukage]

This usually happens when you mix pastel colors, since the colors cancel each other out it becomes this very light gray-ish color.

[savannahwood]

Mixing all those colors together did not make a plain white, it actually made what looks like light gray

[AnonymousFan-eviw]

You know what really makes white? Strawberry ice cream and mint ice cream. I ain’t joking. I couldn’t even make this up

[Gold_Bee]

It’s a little bit gray but really cool I thought it would make a weird brown color edit: Holy god 10k likes that’s the most I’ve ever gotten

Him: “These colors make plain white”
Light Grey: Oh baby I’m not even real

[glaceongirl]

Color theory
The Dark Blue neutralizes the Orange, purple neutralizes yellow, and the turqoise neutralizes the peachy/redish colours. So it becomes grey, and with a bit of help from the white base it turns into almost white

[Nandini-ccvb]

How it works: they neutralize each other and become grey. Notice that’s why white was added too. It resulted in a darker white

[moonbubbles]

Mixing colors will never give you white. While white is the presence of all color, that’s referring to the light spectrum - not pigments.

[yogitadhande]

Him let's make white
Me: oh sure i don't have white paint
Him: 'adds white'

[nobodyhere]

Its because everything thats actually white is every color in the rainbow mixed together. But you cant really get plain white, as in white. But you can get a similar result like this very light grey!

[xpen]

People often confuse the effects of mixing primary color light sources with mixing paint. With lights the color is made by filtering out parts of the spectrum. With paint you add light absorbing pigments.

[robertdowney]

It's called subtractive addition of colors. If you mix all the primary colors you get black. Since these aren't entirely primary colors it came out as a shade of black.
