DYE COLORS
10. OUR COLOR: GOLD
RATIO:
20 - PARTS YELLOW
2 - PARTS RED
1 - PART BLUE
Gold, because it is mostly Yellow, can be used almost anywhere that Yellow can. But because Gold
contains small portion of Red and Blue (Violet the complementary color) it is darker than yellow (not
as bright). Within our system, Gold is used most often to add both brightness and depth to Browns
and Rusts. CAUTIONS & SOLUTIONS: See color yellow.
11. OUR COLOR: RUST
RATIO:
8 - PARTS YELLOW
12 - PARTS RED
1 - PART BLUE
Rust is a mixture of the three primary colors, Yellow, Red, and Blue. Red is the dominant color with
Yellow next. Blue is by far the least influential of the three colors in Rust. You can think of Rust as
basically a slightly reddish Orange that is flattened by Blue. Rust is a good color for taking Light Green
and Light Blue to Brown. It is also used for taking Yellow to Rust, as well as taking Orange to Burnt
Orange. Within our system, Rust is mot often used for enhancing Oranges, Rusts, and light to
medium Browns in order to make them appear richer..
12. OUR COLOR: DARK RUST
RATIO:
6 - PARTS YELLOW
6 - PARTS RED
2 - PARTS BLUE
Dark Rust is a mixture of the three primary colors, basically equal parts of Yellow and Red, with
about a third as much Blue as either of the other two. Think of Dark Rust as Orange with
enough Blue added to give it a Bronze Hue. Dark Rust is a very good color for taking light Blue,
light Grey or light to medium Green to Brown. It is also useful for taking Orange to Burnt Orange
and for incorporating Kool-Aid stains and plant stains into brown and rust carpets. In addition,
Dark Rust is useful for enhancing Rust Brown and Tan carpets.
Within our system, Dark Rust is most often used as a bases color and adjusted with either Brown,
Rust, or Blue for specific applications, as well as for hiding reddish stains in Tan, Light Brown, Camel,
etc. colored carpets.
