Trying to mix a nice antique white. A bit of brown is too pink. A bit of black gives a blue tone. Help!

    Use the complementary colour to neutralize the hue you want to tone down in your paint...if itโ€™s too pink, add a tiny bit of green, if itโ€™s too blue, add a bit of orange. If itโ€™s 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 โ€œantiqueโ€ it.

    Hello there,

    I would say add touch of warm yellow should do the trick.
