Imagine you have a box of crayons: red, blue, and yellow. These are your starting colors. With these, you can make all the other colors in the rainbow!

- If you mix red and blue, you get purple, like when two friends decide to wear matching outfits.
- If you mix yellow and blue, you get green, just like grass on a sunny day.
- If you mix red and yellow, you get orange, the color of your favorite fruit!
Now, if you want a lighter or darker shade, you can add more of one color. It's like when you have a glass of juice: adding more water makes it lighter, and adding more juice makes it stronger.
