Dharma Trading has a "my palette" tool, where you can pull colors off their list and see if they make the combination you want. http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/3796-AA.shtml?lnav=dyes.html

Here I've chosen chinese red, deep yellow and forest green.

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)
