Printers make red from magenta and yellow using the printing medias color standard (CMYK) though people with a paintbrush will often deny that somthing like that is even posible beacause they have been taught that the allmighty colors are red, yellow and blue.

A dark gray purple.
This explanation is valid if you mix the same amounts of all colors. Red and blue will usually make a dark purple. Yellow and purple will make a brown-gray purple. Mix the dark purple with the gray purple, and you will get a fairly dark slightly gray purple.
Generally it is best to try to get whatever color you want by only mixing two or three colors together with white. Mix too many colors and you will have "muddy" colors.
cyan magenta and yellow are the primary colors. cyan + magenta = blue. cyan + yellow = green. yellow + magenta = red. all of them make black.
What they've always taught in school was: the primary triad is red, blue and yellow the secondary triad is orange (red plus yellow), purple (red plus blue) and green (blue plus yellow). In reality, the primary colors are NOT red, blue and yellow. They are cyan, magenta and yellow. If you use these colors as your primaries, the secondary triad is red (magenta plus yellow), green (cyan plus yellow) and blue (cyan plus magenta). Red, green and blue are also the primary colors of light, which gives further credence to the fact cyan, magenta and yellow are the primaries--cyan absorbs red light, magenta absorbs green light and yellow absorbs blue light. And finally, I can almost guarantee your printer (assuming it's color) does NOT have red or blue ink in it, but it does have cyan and magenta ink.
Probably Magenta
Red is a primary color and cannot be made from other colors. Red is no longer a primary color. Magenta has replaced it, and cyan has replaced blue. Many more colors can be made with magenta, yellow, and cyan. Mix magenta and yellow to make red.
To get red you have to subtract colors not add. Use magenta pigment to subtract the yellow, green, and turquoise colors. Then add yellow pigment to remove the blue and violet. That subtracts every color but red from the whit light striking the pigments. Red is not primary anymore. Mix magenta and yellow to get red.
It can't be done, because red is at one extreme end of the visible spectrum.AnswerRed is a primary color (like blue and yellow) and therefore, there is no combination of colors that will produce it.Wrong. My color printer for my computer mixes magenta and yellow to make red.Red is no longer a primary color for pigments. Neither is blue. You are using obsolete color theory that was used before the colors magenta and cyan were available.The correct primaries are magenta, yellow, and cyan.
