How about...
a picture of a palette. kind of like this:
http://www.janedoe.com/images/palette.gif
additionally, there is a pool of white paint in the middle.
if you select the colors on the side, the color of the white
paint in the middle changes slightly towards that color.
you can mix the different colors to get the color you want.
We'd want at least cyan, yellow, magenta, black, and white
on the palette. Secondary colors as well as brown would be
good to have also, among others.
It's a CYMK model, which is what kids are more familiar with from the art
class. They should also be familiar with paint mix concept so seeing a
palette should make it easier for them to know what to do. Some sort of
instruction and/or animation would be necessary to help them use it
properly (of course.)
