Hey! Have you ever wondered about the mixing of colors?

Of course yes, and that’s the reason you are here to know what will be the resultant color on mixing of blue and green color.

Color Mixing: Blue And Green

If the blue color and green color is mixed together with different proportion then the color formed will be CYAN. CYAN is a bright color, this is a greenish blue color an aquatic type color. This means this color is similar to the sky color or ocean color. CYAN color gives relief to the eyes. The Color given in the picture is CYAN.

The above picture shows the cyan color which is formed by mixing blue and green colors in different proportions. In cyan color, the mixture of blue and green has more blue color as compared to green. But when we add more green color in the mixture of blue and green we get Turquoise. The Turquoise color is given in the picture. 

So, in the art of painting when artists make a mixture of blue and green they mix them in different proportions to get the different shades of the color instead of mixing the colors in equal proportions.
