Actually, if you mix 50 parts warm yellow with 1 part black, you get something like this colour, which I have always found intriguing. Some of you may call this "puce green" but that's just opening up another can of mashed peas.

My instant thought - puce - having just looked it up!! Should be fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteSlime Lime! Interesting debate about what people think of as puce. We had a meeting today of my local art group (just 4 of us) and the other three all had the same image of a brownish purplish colour - much darker than my idea.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of those colours that gives 'life' to a piece by adding small quantities. It will be interesting to see how much people use in the pieces.

Interesting colour, and one of my favourites. No idea what I'm going to do with though. Good choice Heather.
ReplyDeleteI call it "puke green" and it is my favourite colour, aside from red. Great choice Heather!
