Exercise: Spray a small mound of shaving cream on a table, and experiment with mixing the primary colors 2 at a time into fresh shaving cream. For each mix, using diluted (about 10 drops in 1/4 cup water) food coloring, mix with brushes or hands. Use the mixing blanks to record the experiments. After seeing what happens with mixing 2 pure primaries, add one of the mixtures to another. Watch closely, what happens to them. Did any of your mixtures end up as mud? What is mud?
