Put the white down first and add the color little by little: that way you control how light it gets.
For a pastel shade, use lots of white and very little color.

What color do brown and white make?

Brown + white, in equal parts, make beige. With more brown it leans toward camel, and with more white, toward light beige.

What ratio of brown and white should I use?

Half and half makes beige. 2 parts brown to 1 part white gives camel; 1 part brown to 2 parts white gives light beige.

How do I make beige lighter or darker?

Add white little by little to lighten it (light beige) or a little black to darken it (dark beige).

Is it the same with watercolor, acrylic and oil?

The result is similar. Watercolor looks lighter because the white paper shows through; acrylic gets a little darker as it dries.
