I would have thought a drop of red and half a drop of white and or yellow to try a sample wouldn't use up too much time - or paint !Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're painting on a white background and the paint is water soluble, just thin some red paint right down!. If it's oil paint, same thing only with painting medium!. You get pale red AND save paint!.

Beware of adding yellow!.!.!. a little may be helpful, depending on the red you start with, but too much, plus white, gets you anything from orange sherbet to Band-aid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Red and yellow,,red and white makes pink,,adding a little yellow will reduce the red through the shades to orange and eventually to the yellowsWww@QuestionHome@Com

sorry thought the question was colours,,,
black and white are not colours they are tints,,
so yellow and red is the answerWww@QuestionHome@Com

Just add white until your happy with the shade of red you want remember add little bit by bitWww@QuestionHome@Com

try mixing red with white, but not enough so it won't come out pink, then try adding a pinch of green or gray!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
