Mixing your own paint colors is a simple way to customize the colors you have to fit your needs. By looking at a color wheel, it is easy to determine what combination of colors is needed to create the desired hue. Red violet is located between violet and red on the color wheel, meaning that combining these two shades will create red violet.
