What in blue hell made you think mixing red, white and brown together would give you anything close to "Raspberry"? Are they the only colors you have, and you're just hopin'?
You need to mix a cool (not orangey) red with a little purple or blue, then add white if needed. Most of all, you need to look at a color wheel and realize the relationships between colors. |

Go with alizarin crimson and some white if you want to tone it down add some ultramarine blue

Ok DON'T mix red brown and white. That will not give you the color you want. I would say a cool red. (but not a pink) Then a small tint of blue. Maybe.. Even some white. (only put a Little in at a time to determine how much you really need) There you go that should give you the color that you need! Find a color wheel next time or experiment with the colors to see how they all relate to each other.

Without knowing what your subject is or your medium, here is a stab.
crimson lake and a bit of ultramarine, and maybe a tiny, tiny bit of a primary yellow. BUT If you are using watercolor I would say use winsor and newton permanant magenta with a tiny bit of cadmium yellow light. They have a very dark permanant magenta that is more like a rasberry color, when compared to the other brands of the same color name that I have. The touch of yellow will not make it a warm color but it will bring it out of the very cool range and make iteven more intense and emotionally friendlier...ok...maybe that last part is in my imagination but I did do a couple of test swatches of the actual paint mixtures...looks like deep rich rasberry to me. Remember this is only with watercolor where I get specific on brands and such...I dont use anything else much these days, and colors behave differently depending upon what type they are and what brand. |
