How To Make The Color Black From Acrylic?

Mix equal parts of cyan, magenta, and yellow acrylic paint

Add a small amount of black paint if the mix turns muddy instead of dark

Deepen the mixture with a touch more magenta or cyan as needed

Use ultramarine blue, burnt umber, and a little red to create a near-black

Adjust the mix with tiny amounts of white only if you need a softer dark tone

Test the color on scrap paper or canvas before using it in your artwork
