It is a theoretical question and not color should i buy. Let's say I have every color, what do I mix to get it?

Zinc and Copper. If you mean paints, then a metallic that looks like zinc (a silver or steel color may substitute) and a metallic that looks like copper.

May I ask once again. With Warplock Bronze can I mix something (could it be non-metallic?) to achieve something like Hashut Copper? I never understood if we can mix something with metallic colors to make them brighter. I think we can but it will lose its metallic texture.

I'm just curious what spurred the creation of this thread.

Is it just practicing colour theory? If you had "every colour" you'd have brass.

for a bright, shiny brass, with good coverage, I like mixing "retributor armour" and "stormhost silver" - I recommend picking up those paints even if you don't plan to mix them like that though, they're both great

Mix Skullcrusher Brass with, er, nothing...

Mixing metallics does get rid of their metallic nature but definitely makes for really nice NMM for highlighting and could definitely be used for just making nmm versions of various shades of metallics. For highlighting gold I love mixing retributor armor with white at about a 60/40 mix. Completely gets rid of the metallic fleck but makes a damn fine NMM highlight for the metallics.
For a brass tone I'd assume mix copper color with a gold color, a silver color, and a touch of blue ink or just shade it with drakenhof nightshade. Just my best guess.
