Mix the colours

Tap two paint pots

New colours found

  • Orange
  • Green
  • Purple

For grown-ups: this is how paint mixes. A screen makes colour from light, which mixes differently, so here we are showing what paint does.

Play it together

Before each tap, ask your child to guess: what will red and yellow make? Say the colour names out loud together. Then try the white pot and see what it does.

What it practises

Naming colours, and seeing that two colours make a new one. That is all we claim for it. The real version,ઘરમાં રંગ શોધો (Colour hunt at home), does the same job with things from your kitchen, and does it better.

Five minutes on the screen is plenty. No sign-up, no sound, no ad networks, and nothing your child types leaves this page. More games in the Play corner.

Questions parents ask

What colours make orange, green and purple?

In paint, red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and red and blue make purple. Adding white makes any colour lighter, so red and white make pink.

Why does the screen say paint mixes this way?

A screen makes colours out of light, and light mixes differently from paint. The game shows what happens when you mix real paint, so it matches what your child will see with a brush and a pot of water.
