Mixing colors of colors - what do we have to master?
But before you start tinting, you need to know that not every white paint can be used to create dark shades. The reason for this separation is the amount of binder and pigment present in each paint. These two components are interrelated, and for the raw material to meet its characteristics, it is necessary that the amount of pigment does not exceed the rate that the binder can fix.
When tinting in dark colors, pigments for paints increase, and the concomitant may not be enough to bond the entire pigment. Therefore, manufacturers produce paints with different contents of this substance. And when choosing the coloring material for this factor is worth paying close attention.
With manual tinting in the building materials store, the paint is bought for the paint( the colors are chosen so that the finish finish is done), as well as white paint of the necessary consistency.

Very often you can hear the question: how to mix paint colors? To answer this question, you can consider the whole process of coloring at home.
Mixing colors - secrets of the
technique First, we collect several wide plastic packages from yogurt. In a previously washed plastic container, you need to pour a little paint and write down its volume( approximately 100 ml).After that, several drops of the same color or several( for complex shades) should be added to the same container. The number of drops and the name of the color is also desirable to record.
Now you need to mix the colors with the paint to get a uniform color. It is better to start with 2 drops, and if the color is pale, you can add more dye, but only by drop.
When the color in the tank suits you( you need to remember that on the wall it will be brighter), take a brush and paint a small section of the wall. After the paint has dried, it is desirable to evaluate the color under natural as well as artificial lighting.
If the result you are pleased with, you can paint the remaining paint, but. .. from the required amount of dye necessarily take 20% of .This is done in order to keep the color you need, becausethe color on the large surface will always look brighter than on the small one.
For example, to create the right color for 100 ml of paint, 5 drops of color were used, according to the logic of 1000 ml, 50 drops must be dripped, but this is not so. To maintain the desired shade per 1000 ml, 40 drops of the desired dye are needed.
If the preliminary painting did not suit you, there are several options for solving this issue. This is either dilution of the paint, or addition of a dye, depending on the result obtained. And the most important condition: come to this process creatively, and then the desired result will not keep you waiting.
