If you mix with real paint

  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

What color do green and white make?

Green + white, in equal parts, make sage green. With more green it leans toward leaf green, and with more white, toward mint.

What ratio of green and white should I use?

Half and half makes sage green. 2 parts green to 1 part white gives leaf green; 1 part green to 2 parts white gives mint.

How do I make sage green lighter or darker?

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

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.
