would it work better to mix tints to white opaque pigment to get different opaque colors (blue+red=purple) or just mix the opaques? I find unless I’m very careful with the opaques I get the same baby poop green no matter what colors I mix.
Depending on the color and amount, not all tints mix well with opaques. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done but there are numerous opaque dispersions on the market so you don’t have to mix your own.
Basically on the “pastel” colors you start with white and add the color.White with a bit of blue=baby blue…white+yellow= “banana” yellow.Red added will look pink etc.Best to make small samples. R.B.
