How do i get white paint?

[The Pingas Man]

I'm trying to get to level 12 in this game, and it seems i need white paint to make one of the shapes i need to combine. How in gods name do i get white paint?

[Glukovich]

just mix red+green+blue.

[Glukovich]

i mean, combine one color out of two, and then add to combined color third one.

purple + green,
yellow + blue,
cyan + red.

like that.

I had to think about it as well.
I thought I was going to obtain black at first :P

In real life, mixing light is an additive color model (ex: RGB),
and mixing paint is a substractive color model (ex: CMY).

I guess we're mixing light here.

the paint icon is supposed to be giving the hint ;P

I ran into this same thought on my first time needing it. It did seem a bit counter intuitive and trail and error is your friend here.

Its not that hard.
R G B are your colors
(R+G)+B=W

Just need 2 paint mixers - one input for each color - send the result of one mixer to the 2nd one with the remaining missing color.

THANK YOU. I thought this might be the way but hoped not lol

In Shapes 2 you can mix colours properly by choosing CMY mode, devs listened and made sure the new version had the option as RGB is for light, not pigments.
