Donna on Nov 24, 2015I don't think you can mix Anything to make black. Primary colors will mix to secondary colors, and so on....but not black.Helpful Reply

Sheryl Gilliland on Nov 25, 2015The closest to black is a deep purple but that wont match. Start with the deepest purple you can make or use then use black marker to top coat when the paint is dry.Helpful Reply

SK on Elderberry on Nov 25, 2015I use ultramarine blue and deep crimson red. This will take you to the deepest purple which when dry appears black. But it wont match the black you have previously used. Good luck. sk on elderberryHelpful Reply

Phillipcardjr on Nov 28, 2015How did you make out Barb? When mixing the three primaries blue ,red and yellow together it is necessary to have them in the right proportion, Following Elderberry's thouht if you add yellow a little at a time you can make varing shades of black. Marker fades in a short period of time, I know all too well.Helpful Reply
