What generally happens when white is added to a red and yellow mixture?

Correct answer: A lighter orange will form

Red and yellow first combine to make orange. When white is added to that orange mixture, the colour becomes lighter and less intense; this lighter version is called a tint. Thus, option C is correct. White does not change the mixture into green, violet, or blue. Green requires yellow and blue, violet requires red and blue, and blue is not produced by adding white. The governing concept is that white lightens a hue and creates its tint.
