Black is a commonly used paint color; black paint can be made when an equal amount of red, yellow, and blue paint is mixed together on a palette. Complementary color can also be used to achieve black paint like blue and orange, yellow and purple, and red and green.

Here are tips to achieve black paint.

1. Use yellow, red, and blue paint. The exact shades of red, blue, and yellow will determine the shade of the black.
2. Put an equal amount of color on a palette.
3. Mix the paint by using a paintbrush, palette knife, or a metal scraping tool.
4. Depending on the shade of black you want, you can add white paint to lighten the black or some drops of blue to create a black for a night sky.

1. Get yellow, blue, and red paint: The first thing you will need to do before you can make black

1. Get yellow, blue, and red paint: The first thing you will need to do before you can make black paint color is to look for blue, yellow, and red paint. The degree of the blackness of the black paint you are going to make depends on the proportion of each of the three colors which you are mixing together.

2. Add equal amounts for all three colors: The amount of each color to be used must be the same. You can put the three colors on a palette before you start to mix them together.

3. Mix the three colors together: At this point, you will need to mix the three colors together. You will need to use a paintbrush or any material that can be used so that the paint can be properly mixed together.

4. Decide how you want the color to look: At this stage, you are already getting the black color, but you can as well add a little quantity of white color to reduce its blackness a little bit, though this might not be needed.
