DYE COLORS
7. OUR COLOR: ORANGE
RATIO:
5 - PARTS YELLOW
5 - PARTS RED
0 - PART BLUE
Orange is a mixture of Red and Yellow. Orange is therefore the complimentary color to Blue in
order to get a Brown, Grey or Black. Orange is used most often to balance out light to Medium
Blue in order to go to a Brown or Rust, although Rust alone or Rust and Red may work.
Within our system, Orange is used most often as described in paragraph two above, as well as
being added to a dye mix with a Brown or rust in order to do a Light Blue or Light Green to Brown
color change. It is also used to brighten Red, since it has no Blue.
CAUTION: Orange contains enough Red to possess many of the same qualities of Red.
SOLUTION TO CAUTION: Use small amounts of Orange. See solutions to Cautions offered under
Red.
8. OUR COLOR: FOREST GREEN
RATIO:
4 - PARTS YELLOW
1 - PART RED
5 - PARTS BLUE
Forest Green is composed from the three primary colors, Yellow, Red and Blue. Ratio is 1 ¼ as
much Blue as Yellow, and ¼ as much Red as Yellow. Forest Green is used most often to restore
color to Medium to Dark Greens.
9. OUR COLOR: TAN
RATIO:
5 - PARTS YELLOW
4 - PARTS RED
1 - PART BLUE
Tan is made of the three primary colors, Red, Yellow, and Blue, the approximate compositions
slightly more yellow than red with about one-fourth as much as Blue. Tan is used in much the
same way as Dark Rust due to their similar composition, but since Tan has less Blue and Red than
Dark Rust, and therefore more Yellow, it is not as dark or “rich” as Dark Rust. Therefore Tan is
more appropriate for lighter colors. Within our system, Tan is used most often as a base color that
is “adjusted” by the addition of other colors, such as the primaries and by Dark Brown.
