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.
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.

Yes, it does. But it's often done the wrong way: with red, yellow, and blue as the primary colors and orange, green, and purple as the secondary ones. In reality, the primary pigments are yellow, cyan, and magenta and red, green, and blue as the secondary colors. Magenta + Yellow = Red Yellow + Cyan = Green Cyan + Magenta = Blue
it usually has cyan (light blue), magenta(light red), yellow, and black. I guess they would mix magenta with black to make it into a certain shade of red

red is a primary colour. you cant make primary colours. so the answer is no. red is a primary colour. you cant make primary colours. so the answer is no. red is a primary colour. you cant make primary colours. so the answer is no. Wrong. Red is no longer a primary color. It has been replaced by magenta, and blue has been replaced by cyan. Magenta, yellow, and cyan g9ive a much larger set of colors than red, yellow and blue did. Your computer color printer makes red by mixing magenta and yellow. It makes blue by mixing magenta and cyan.
Probably Magenta
Mixing yellow with magenta or a small amount of cyan can create shades of red.
Red, blue and green
Magenta and yellow combine to make red.
The primary colors of pigment are cyan, magenta, and yellow. When mixed together in various combinations, these colors can create a wide range of hues.
There are three primary colors: Yellow, Red, and Blue. From these colors all other colors can be created.
The primary colors of pigments are cyan, magenta, and yellow. When these are mixed together, they create secondary colors such as red, green, and blue.
