I have bought paint and it is to yellow what can i do to make it look a more cream color no yellow?

If you bought it at a paint store, you might be able to take it back and just tell them it's the wrong colour, and exchange it for the right colour.





If not, then you have to add LOTS of white and then some brown umber. Add the white first until you get the 'lightness' you want, then add the brown umber.





When adding the brown umber, use just a little at a time. Just like salt in a recipe, you can always add more, but can't take away.

It all depends on how yellow it is, ie: it intensity, if it is a very bright yellow they may be very little you can do but if its not that strong you may be able to reduce the intensity by adding white paint to it, I would suggest using 50% white 50%yellow, and see how that looks, you may also be able to buy paint tints to alter the hue of the yellow, but try just reducing it with the white first.I have bought paint and it is to yellow what can i do to make it look a more cream color no yellow?
Buy yourself another tin of plain white paint in a big tin and add a little of your yellow paint at a time until you have got the colour you are wanting.





If it isnt actually yellow but more a true cream do the opposite. Keep adding the white to the yellow cream in small amounts until you have the colour you desire.
You can mix it with dark brown paint (add the brown a little at a time) or you could add brown tint to it at the paint store. I've had good luck at mixing paints over the years and if you do it carefully you'll end up with a color you like better.
Fill 47 ice cube trays with as much paint as possible. Bake for 3 hours at 540掳c and flush everything when done. Everything. Even the oven. Fill the paint can with happy thoughts. They will mix with the remaining paint and produce a pleasing color you will enjoy always!
get a basic beige color paint in the same grade of paint you currently have now and mix some in its the cheapest way
Mix it with plenty of white and maybe add a bit of brown to t too.
