Anyone have a chart for mixing MF colorants or any companies colorants? I am trying to get a specific color when I start making some plastics again and I re3ally don't want to buy hundreds in different colors to mix my own.
The colors I want to make re cerise which is a pink with a little purple I'm guessing and salmon roe which is a kinda off red not opaque but not transparent.
You might want to contact Jeff at MF don’t know if he has a chart or not most likely they do because they mix a lot of different colors up I will send a note to him to see. There are also called her and mixing charts on the Internet. Amazon.com click on Amazon you will see some color charts.Quote:

That's the main color I am looking for. MFs colors on their site aren't the best so if anyone has any suggestions for making this color or finding it I would appreciate it

MF has no chart and really had no clue so I am still searching.
I added 1 part yellow and the website says cerise but it's not the right color. lol
May be a lot of experimenting to do.
I also contacted Jeff at MF he told me the same thing that they do not have a color chart. I’ll have to mix up some red and blue to see what I come up with will try to post a picture if I get it pretty close. Jeff at Mf made a comment that most of his colors are non-bleed. are use quite a few different colors from them but I also order a lot of different colors from different other Company also we use a lot of powder from different soap companies .Quote:

a pink purple is cerise. Non bleed is probably a necessity but once mixed would a color bleed out of the mixture?
I have used oil paint the type that the artist used to paint canvas and they work quite well in the plastic if you try this just try a little bit squeeze it out of a tube like toothpaste. I don’t remember if the Oil paint bleeds but I don’t think so??Quote:

A guy from Barlows tackle was a lot of help with trying to find possible options!
I have all the colors above have to experiment a little bit to see what we come up with.Quote:
