Complementary color mixing

[Mr Majestic]

First thing that comes to my mind is just paint with different opacities and together the opacity = 100 so if you wanted a perfect mix between red and green lets say just change the opacity of the green brush and the red brush to 50%, its not like regular paint like if you were going to make a middle gray you are not going to have a little black and a lot of white. Not sure if that will help you, just throwin out ideas.

Thanks. I appreciate your creative thinking. I guess there just isn't a good way to mix colors on the computer as simply as a pallet of paint.:sad:

you can mix some colours using "multiply", but as for mixing colours like paint, thats not in PS...

Remember that computers use additive color, so mixing red and green will not give you grey. In RGB, you have to use a light blue/cyan color to neutralize red. As for mixing them like paint, using a very low flow airbrush on normal blending mode will give you the same effect.

Good points.

Thanks for the tip on the low flo airbrush. That seems to work very well. I actually got a gray from a nice blue orange mix.
