Heck, the color of furniture paint is not only a science, but also has a lot of artistic flavor in it. As the old saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Get your palette, paint, and brushes ready, and follow me to create your favorite colors!
Preparation. 1.Choose your basic color system: Furniture paints are usually divided into water-based paints and oil-based paints, so first decide what you want the basic color, such as white, black, or wood.
2.Buy good quality primary color paint: Choose high-quality primary color paint in a professional paint shop, the basic color can be adjusted with pure white and pure black, the primary color includes red, yellow, blue, etc.
3.Prepare the color palette, color palette or clean brush, measuring cup, etc., and a color palette that can be used to test the colors.
Grading steps. 1.Base color start: Start by pouring a large number of base colors onto the palette, which is the main color that will be adjusted.
2.Add dark colors carefully: Use a measuring cup to measure a small amount of black or other dark paint and slowly add it to the base color to darken. Remember, little by little, it's easy to darken, but it's much harder to make it lighter if you turn it too deep.
3.Lightness adjustment: If you need to adjust the lighter color, you can add white paint. Again, it is also a small amount many times, stirring well as you add.
4.Color adjustment: If you want to bring up non-basic colors (such as purple, green, orange, etc.), you can refer to the color wheel to start color grading. For example, red and yellow can make orange, blue and yellow can make green, and red and blue can make purple.
5.Test & Modify: After each grading, test on the tryout. Paint will look slightly darker than wet paint when dry, so consider this factor when making color adjustments.
6.Repeat Adjustments: Continue adjusting until you reach a satisfactory color. During the grading process, make sure to mix well to prevent uneven colors.
Tips and tricks. Record proportions: During the grading process, make sure to record the proportions used for each color, so that you can quickly achieve the same shade if you need to supplement or correct it in the future.
Keep it clean: Make sure your tools and containers are clean so that residues from other colors don't affect the color of your current blend.
Light factor: Be sure to test color in natural light or in ambient light close to where you'll be placing furniture, as light can have a huge impact on the perception of color.
Grading is like cooking, it takes a little intuition and a lot of experimentation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, many times, a casual mistake can lead to unexpected and wonderful effectsNow, grab your tools and mix your colors to your heart's content!
