How to adjust solid watercolor colors?

Solid watercolor is a commonly used painting pigment. In order to ensure the color quality of solid watercolor, it is necessary to adjust the color according to the target color sample during production. How to adjust solid watercolor colors?

Solid watercolor is mixed with watercolor pigments. The proportion of color mixing, different brands of colorants, and the proportion of color paste are different. There is no strict ratio, but it is roughly the same. Red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors. You can use these three color, and appropriate black to create different colors. Color essence and color paste are not similar products. Water-based color essence is a dye dissolved in water, while water-based color paste is a pigment dispersion. The two are completely different. The color essence is a transparent aqueous agent, which colors quickly and fades quickly. The color paste is a solid color and opaque, but the yellow and red are a little transparent, but they are still solid colors. They color quickly and fade slowly. Therefore, when mixing solid watercolors, you need to pay attention to the color mixing ratio and the characteristics of the color paste. Then adjust the color according to the following color adjustment techniques:

1. Before color matching, refer to the standard color sample, select 1 to 2 main color pigments, and then select auxiliary (secondary) color pigments for fine-tuning the hue.

2. Difficulty of color adjustment direction: It is easy to adjust the brightness from high to low, and it is easy to adjust the brightness from high to low (that is, from light to dark), but vice versa is difficult.

3. Color matching follows the principle of “first priority, second priority, from light to dark”. When mixing colors, you should add the main color first, then the secondary color. The secondary color accounts for a small proportion, but the secondary color has the greatest impact. Each time you add the color, add less of the estimated amount. When it is close to the desired amount, When coloring, fine-tune based on differences in hue.
