How can you make tan paint darker?

Answer 1

You would have to add a darker color, or take it to a paint store and have them add colorant. Trying to change paint from its original mixed formula is not a good idea. All paint brands require different formula's for the same colors. So if you were to try and change a color from its original formula by adding a different color of paint, it would be impossible to match the new color if you were to run out before finishing.

Answer 2

You add black

I was taught that add black to make it darker little bit at a time or add white to make it lighter but if that makes the green go ewwy looking add a bit of yellow to make it lighter or blue to make it darker because green is made of blue and yellow

Answer 3

if you have a tin of dark green paint and you want to make it cream, then sorry you cant.

If you have something that is painted dark green and you want to paint it cream then it depends on the type of paint you are trying to cover. if it is normal wall emulsion, then you can just paint over it with a bruch or roller, but it will need at least a couple of coats.

If it is gloss or a type of water proof paint, you should clean and sand the surface of the paint to make it give it a key (make it a bit rough so the new paint will stick and not just run off).

If you are going from one type of paint to another then you might need an undercoat before you can put on the cream paint.

If in doubt, try a small test area to see if it works.

Answer 4

A little amount yellow colour with mixture of white makes light yellow.

Then, with the mixture of light yellow with white colour makes cream colour.

Ensure that all the painst are of the same type. i.e. all gloss, or all emulsion else youll find you have a paint pot of wasted paints.
