Grey Paint Cans

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed as an educational tool for young students to learn about color mixing. It presents a picture of two paint buckets pouring white and brown paint into a large mixing bowl. The task for the student is to determine what color the mixture will become. The visual representation aims to engage the students and help them understand the concept of combining different colors to create a new one.

The worksheet is intended to teach students about the creation of secondary colors through the mixing of primary colors. It specifically focuses on the color grey, which is not traditionally considered a result of mixing primary colors but can be achieved by mixing white with black or a dark color like brown. By experimenting with the colors on the worksheet, students are encouraged to think about color theory and the relationship between different hues. The goal is to promote an understanding of how different colors interact and how they can be combined to form new ones.
