Complementary Colour Mixtures
Mix colours that are less intense by mixing colours opposite on the wheel
Complementary Colour: the colour directly opposite any colour on the colour wheel. The complement of red is green.
Start by mixing a blue and an orange colour. (Use the bright orange in your paint set)
Place these colours at opposite sides of a row.

Mixing Complements: Blue and Orange
In the blue mixture place a small drop of orange paint. Place this beside the blue square.
Add small amounts of red to the blue until a neutral grey is made; place this grey in the middle of the row.
Now mix the other side of the row by adding small amounts of blue into your orange paint.
