    Default colorant mixing chart


    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.

    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

    What do you call the color pink purple. you probably could make the color by adding purple to the pink but it would be a lot of spare emitting in a lot of plastic.

    The mixing chart that tlefire posted says red 1 part, magenta 3 parts, blue 1 part. I just can't find magenta colorant, yet. Says it is a red violet but all the colors are stated as red violet once I add magenta to red and blue.

    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 .
