Mixing Colors / Paints

When mixing always start with the lightest colour or you will have gallons before you reach the right colour. Always stir well before use.

* Orange: start with yellow and add just a little red.

* Green: start with yellow, add a little blue.

* Purple: start with red, add an equal part of blue.

* Brown: start with yellow, add red and blue a little at a time.

* Lime Green: start with yellow, add a little green at a time.

* Sea Green: start with green and add blue a little at a time.

* Pink: start with clear and add a few drops of violet and a few drops of red.

* Skin Colour: start with clear and add a few drops of brown.

* Darker Colours: add brown, black or blue.

* Lighter Colours: start with clear, add a drop of colour at a time.

* Using White: beware! White really is a rogue colour, because it is not transparent - imagine white gloss paint on a window. It takes some skill to make it look pretty, mixing just a few drops with any colour to achieve a soft, etched look which catches the light.
