How to make light blue colour?

A week ago, I painted my son’s room in light blue. For this painting job, I hired a professional painter because I wanted a smooth, even finish. I told him that I wanted a light blue shade. He explained that light blue can be made by mixing blue paint with white paint. I stayed during the mixing process and watched him prepare the shade. Below, I am sharing the simple steps so you can try it too. 

How Can You Make Light Blue Colour with Paint? 

1. First, take the required amount of blue paint in a clean container. Blue will be the main colour, so start with the amount you need for your painting work.

2. Slowly add a small amount of white paint to the blue. Don't add too much white at once. Adding it little by little will help you control the light blue shade.

3. Now, use a clean stick or paint-mixing tool to mix both paints properly. Keep mixing until the blue and white are completely combined, and there are no separate patches of colour.

4. Check the colour after mixing. If the shade looks darker than you want, add a little more white paint and mix it again. Keep adding small amounts of white until you get the light blue shade you prefer.

Before using the paint on the entire wall, apply a small amount to a spare surface or a small part of the wall. Let it dry and check the colour in natural light. The shade can look slightly different after drying. I hope you now know how to make light blue colour by mixing blue and white paint.

Experimenting with colours is what all painters love. I love using different colours, so let me answer how to make light blue colour by mixing two colours. But to get the light or dark shade of blue, you need to have the primary colour blue first. Since it cannot be made by mixing any other colour, make sure you have it. To make a lighter shade of blue, you can simply add white but sometimes you need more shades. So let me share more tips on how to get light blue colour by mixing.
