When red and blue are mixed, they create purple.
Explanation:
- In art and painting (subtractive color mixing), red and blue are primary colors. Mixing them typically results in a shade of purple or violet, depending on the proportions and the exact shades of red and blue used.
- In light mixing (additive color mixing), red and blue light combine to create magenta, which is a bright pinkish-purple color.
For most contexts involving paint or pigments, the result is purple.
