12. Colour theory I Mixing colours

To methodically mix the right colours for surface damage to natural and artificial stone, stoneware, quartz composite,
ceramics or tiles, it helps to gain basic knowledge about colour schemes and the basics of colour theory.
Mixing primary colours creates the following so-called secondary colours and tertiary colours:
Yellow + blue
Yellow + red
Red + blue
Yellow + red + blue + black
Red + white + some blue or black
Blue + white + some red
White + black + blue
Yellow + white + some blue
The complementary colours are always opposite each other on the colour wheel. If the color is still too dominant, the color
opposite in the color wheel is always mixed with it.
Tips:
1. Always mix in the lightest colours first and only add the darker colours afterwards.
2. Yellow and white are used to make colours lighter. Blue and brown are used to make them darker.
3. To ensure you don't lose too much material when mixing, only use small quantities to start with. After the final curing using the
blue:tron ® blue light lamp, you can assess whether the correct mixture was achieved.
Warning: In order to be able to mix larger quantities later, you need to take notes on the respective quantities used to achieve the colour.
