One of the best ways to learn what you can or can't do with colors, is to do color study charts. This one uses Hansa Yellow Light and Dioxazine Purple and Yellow Ochre and Dioxazine Purple. Both yellows are complimentary colors for the purple. When mixing complimentary colors together, you are actually greying the colors and if mixed in equal parts, you end up with a grey or brown mix. After the initial first row mix, the following two rows were lightened with Titanium White to give more combinations. I could have taken this a step further and introduced a black to darken or reduce the hue intensity.
