Yellow
Try white with a little black and yellow
Use the complementary colour to neutralize the hue you want to tone down in your paint...if itโs too pink, add a tiny bit of green, if itโs too blue, add a bit of orange. If itโs too yellow, add purple. Adding small amounts of colour at a time will give you more control. Once you have a neutral beige mixture that you like, add it to your white paint to โantiqueโ it.
Hello there,
I would say add touch of warm yellow should do the trick.
Add yellow or orange(sparingly) ; brown is made from red base,black into white is gray
Most antique what has a bit of ocre tint added to it.
