What Colors Make Pink?

In paint
Pink isn't a primary or secondary color, it's a tint: red paint lightened with white. There's no separate "pink" pigment recipe beyond that ratio.
In light (RGB)
In light (RGB), pink comes from a similar logic: high red combined with moderate green and blue light, essentially a lightened, desaturated red.
More white pulls pink toward pale, pastel tones; less white keeps it closer to a deep rose or magenta-red.
