Color Samples

So, as I made some dyes today, I took a few samples.

• I had to test how much black was necessary
• Tried to make Rit Blue 438 (1 TBS Royal Blue, 1 tsp Black, 1 c. water, 1/2 cup salt), but it was too dark
• Berry (2 1/2 tsp. Purple, 2 tsp. Fuschia), I think I went light on the purple
• Sunspot Orange - now I can't remember if this is straight orange or not, think it is
• lemon orange - this was supposed to be a sunspot yellow, but orange is too strong
• lemon yellow - straight
• Zen Green (3 tsp. lemon, 1/2 tsp. kelly green, 1 c. water, 1/2 cup salt) *I love this one

 the blue did not look like this, might try again

Uh Oh, the problem with RIT dye

only use Rit for hot dip dye

How to Mix Your Own Custom Colors

it's hard to find aubergine, try purple instead

Color Mixing

Simple rules:

• a lot of fuchsia and a little yellow make red
• red and yellow make orange
• yellow and turquoise^* make green
• a lot of turquoise^* plus a little fuchsia makes blue
• turquoise^* plus fuchsia makes purple^*(remember to double the amounts of turquoise as compared to other colors)
