Question: How do you mix paint to be chartues!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Do you mean chartreuse!? This colour is made by mixing green/red/blue to make a sludgy, greeny, reddish colour, then add some white to lighten it - & then add lots more green!. It was always a horrible colour - indescribable because of its horribleness! Are you really sure you want to recreate this!? If I were you, I would forget this - & concentrate on purple, maybe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

According to wikipedia, chartreuse is yellow color mixed with a small amount of green!. So to make it, stick with yellow, and keep adding small amounts of blue to it, until it becomes halfway between yellow and green!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
