Are these paint colors regular red, blue, yellow, etc? They seem to be earth tones in the picture.

The ones in the kit I purchased (on Amazon) are not muted down with brown. I was pleased with the colors and so were the kids who's faces were painted! I'd suggest going to a craft store to look at them in person before ordering. (that's what I did) And also found that Amazon had the best price on the kit.

The ones I get are a flat goldish color; but some pacakges have mixed colors: neon red, blue, etc.

They are more than one shade of subdued pink. They seem to take on or blend well with rusty coral and burgundy shades -- probably because the colors are all blended and shaded. My set does not seem as dark red as the picture.

This is more in the red tones. Little bit of rusty colored.. not a btight red.

The picture color is a pretty good representation of color. It's a reddish brown... or a burnt sienna (if your remember crayola crayons). Not quite as orange as a rust. Hope that's helpful.

Yes, the train cars are various colors, including the standard red caboose. Our engine was blue and gray. I believe the photo on the front of the box was accurate as to contents and their colors.

Yes, they were blue, purple, red, and yellowish green. The lights were multi colored too.

Yes, there is paint mixing. Some colors are used out of the pots, but about half of the colors are created by mixing equal parts of 2 colors together.

Those that I purchased were the typical terra cotta shade of plastic. I have never seen these in the red color shown in the picture.

Not really. Though I haven't used this product yet, all the instructions give are these 'hints': Blue+Red=Purple; Red+Yellow=Orange; Blue+Yellow=Green. But this is basic color theory that you can find on-line or in any elementary painting book (e.g. watercolor). Blue, Red and Yellow are the 'primary' colors; purple, orange and green 'secondary' (derived from the primaries). If you mix all 3 primaries you will be introducing black and brown hues and this will dull or 'muddy' your resulting color, but you can use unequal amounts of any two. Black and brown are also in the kit for a total of 5 hues. (Just FYI: actual color products are not 100% the pure theoretical primaries; e.g. maybe the blue is slightly greenish (implying a small amount of yellow) so if you mix this blue with a red, you will have all three primaries present -- to a small extent-- creating a duller purple than you would hope. Again, I have no experience to date with mixing the packets in this kit.) Good luck.

All of mine were different colors, however I understand why they would say that. A few of the colors looked very similar, they're all different though. A lot of reds.

I think they were more snow-white. Hard for me to remember because I painted them, but I don't remember them being yellowish.
