Schools have been teaching the color wheel wrong for 100 years. Red, Yellow and Blue are not the primary colors. I'm mad and I want the State's Schools Standards changed. I developed a Real Color Wheel with the real primary colors and I'm going to talk about it.

That'a a dark hue of magenta, which tints to pink.
The ocher brown hue tints to bright yellow.
The blue hue looks blue because cyan only show up as a tint. Cyan darkens to blue and yellow darkens to brown.

That the way you would do it in oil and acrylic, with w/c you just add water. Keep your paper clean.

That's impossable, you can match it as a tint or as the mass tone, but not both.

Hi Tom,
You would need two colors you can't get. They are made as dry pigments but it would cost you at least $100. Transparent Magenta PR122 and Transparent yellow PY153. You are much better off starting with Cadmium orange. Darken it with Burnt Sienna, lighten it with Cadmium yellow dark.

That $100 quote was from the tail end of 2004. Today, 10-10-6 they are very accessable colors in all media. The manufactures got the hint..
