Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I have a can of red paint, you have a can of white paint. If we mix these in equal amounts, what color will we get?

Answer: Pink

Pink comes in many shades, and what shade you get depends on how much white you add to your red. Some shades of pink include hot pink, champagne pink, and cotton candy.

2. If I keep my red paint, and you instead add a little black paint to it, which of these colors might be the result?

Answer: Maroon

The other ones are colors similar to yellow. But maroon is a darkened shade of red, sometimes a dark shade of purple. But don't put too much black in! Otherwise you'll end up with just black.

3. I am grabbing a blue paint, and it looks like you have a yellow paint. If we mix these two in equal amounts, what color will we have then?

Answer: Green

Yellow and blue are called primary colors. There are only three primary colors; red is the third one. If you mix blue and yellow together, you will get green. Depending on how much blue or yellow you add, whichever you add more of, the end result will be closer to that color.

4. Now we have three colors: red, blue and white. If we mix these all together in equal amounts, what is the name of the color we would get?

Answer: Lavender

The color lavender was named after the flower of the same name, which is a light shade of purple. The other three choices are shades closer to yellow and green. The word lavender is used as an adjective sometimes to describe a lighter shade of several colors, such as lavender pink or lavender blue. But lavender by itself is a light shade of purple.

Answer: Navy Blue

Powder blue, baby blue, and sky blue are all light shades of blue. Adding black to blue will make a dark shade of blue. But navy blue is a very dark shade of blue. The name comes from Navy military uniforms from England, which are dark blue.

6. I have a can of yellow paint, and you have a can of white paint. If we mix these together, which of these colors might we come up with?

Answer: Light Yellow

Yellow and white just make a lighter yellow. There aren't any primary or secondary colors that are lighter than yellow. Adding white will only make a lighter shade of yellow. Possible names of this light shade are lemon, cream or peach.

Answer: Eggplant

Pumpkin, carrot and tangerine are all shades of orange in addition to being orange colored foods. Eggplant also doubles as a color and a food, but that color is a dark shade of purple, nowhere close to a shade of orange.

Answer: Charcoal

Charcoal would be the opposite. It is pure black with a drop of white. Other names for "not quite white" are beige and eggshell. All of these shades of white are so close to each other you might need a computer to tell them apart.

9. Taking three colors now, red, yellow and black, and mixing them together in equal amounts will produce a new color. With this combination, you will make a shade of what color?

Answer: Brown

Red and yellow together make orange. If you add black to that, you get a darker and darker orange, and that becomes brown eventually. Lime is a lighter shade of green.

Answer: Aqua

Aqua is a rich shade of blue, named after the color tone of a body of water. Slate and silver are both medium shades of gray, gunmetal is a very dark shade of gray, close to the barrel of a shotgun. It is not quite black, but very close.
