What colors do you mix together to make burnt orange? Does anyone know where I can pick up Burnt orange paint?

Have you tried Home Depot, Lowes, Sherwin Williams or ANY paint store???





Good Luck!What colors do you mix together to make burnt orange? Does anyone know where I can pick up Burnt orange paint?
My friend, I've been buying paints for my art for many years and I don't ever remember seeing a color on the shelves called 'Burnt Orange.' I'm sure there is such a color because that is the school color of such teams as the Texas Longhorns. But as an artists' color I don't remember ever seeing any. However, there is a shade of Orange, called 'Orange Oxide' that is as close to burnt orange as you'll find without having to make your own. Try looking for Orange Oxide the next time you're in an art supply store or go on-line and search the art stores on-line.What colors do you mix together to make burnt orange?

try home depot.
i know you mix yellow and red paint to make orange, but burnt orange maybe add a little brown paint to it to make it darker or you can find it at any craft store even walmart has an arts and craft section if you don't have a arts and craft store nearby. my husband is a fan of the longhorns too he is from texas! but we don't live there
I would try cadmium red, cadmium yellow and a bit of burnt sienna. Try an art supply store for the paint.
The primary colors of Red %26amp; Yellow mixed together make orange, add a bit of black or white %26amp; it changes the shade to colors such as burnt orange. Look in the yellow pages for art supplies or go to any chain store like Walmart (not to promote this store) %26amp; they usually have a section in the craft supplies area or stationary area. Good Luck
A longhorn fan, eh? heh heh
I would say brown and orange.
Red, Brown and yellow
You're safe following the answers you just got before me. No need to attempt to look for Burnt Orange paint. It's not commercially available anywhere in the world. Mix it yourself.
You can mix yellow and red to make orange and add brown or black to make it burnt orange
Although adding brown to orange seems like the logical way to drab bright orange and make it ';burnt'; it may actually create a muddy and unattractive color depending to the recipe used to make the brown. You're better off using the opposite color to orange (on the color wheel) to drab it, which in this case would be blue. Use very very small amounts til you get the desired darkening.





This works as a way to darken any color . You can make you own basic color wheel by divide a circle into 6 pie shaped sections. Color one true blue, skip a space, color is true red, skip a space, color the third true yellow. Then on the white spaces in between, blend the two colors next to it to make the secondary colors.





But where to buy your paint is a much more difficult question since you don't say what type of paint you are looking for. If you live in a college town, their book store may have art supplies at an affordable price. There are also, on the east coast anyway, art stores such as Dick Blick, AC Moore's and Michael's which will have a variety of paints - fabric, oil, watercolor, acrylic and craft paints designed for almost any substrate. And of course, there are hundreds of online suppliers for craft supplies. Even Dick Blick has an online presence.





Any of the home improvement stores and name brand paint stores will custom blend colors for you. They have dozens of paint samples for you to pick the color you want and some have computers which allow color matching to other items, such as a pillow. Most will even mix colors in as small an amount as a pint, although gallons are much more common. The home/house paints come in latex, alkyd and oil bases.
