5. Cadmium Yellow Medium & Ultramarine Blue ~ produce low-intensity greens because neither of these two pigments carry much green. One contains the complementary colors of the other and so work against each other
Orange & Blue
Yellow & Violet
6 - ORANGE-YELLOW + GREEN-BLUE
6. Cadmium Yellow Medium & Cerulean Blue ~ produce low- to mid-intensity greens, but because the Cerulean Blue is a good carrier of green, the mixes themselves are greener than those in Example #5.
7 - GREEN-YELLOW + VIOLET-BLUE
7. Hansa Yellow Light & Ultramarine Blue ~ produce brighter greens, but are still considered mid-intensity greens due to the violet that slightly tempers the mixes.
8 - GREEN-YELLOW + GREEN-BLUE
8. Hansa Yellow Light & Cerulean blue ~ produce the brightest greens of all because both pigments are excellent carriers of green and contain negligible amounts of complementary colors.
