\"tasting<\/a>\u00a0Here is the first step in making the tasting tiles using Kato Clay.\u00a0\u00a0I used Yellow, Blue, Turquoise, Magenta and Red.<\/p>\n

Greens:\u00a0 The first mixture\u00a0of Yellow with Blue came out\u00a0slightly muted. That is due to the Blue clay’s bias toward magenta. The Yellow with Turquoise\u00a0 came out very clear.<\/p>\n

Oranges: The mixtures of the Yellow\/Magenta and the Yellow\/Red both came out clear. That’s because there is no blue bias in either the Magenta or the Red.\u00a0 You will often hear that magenta is a red with a blue bias. That is not true. Magenta is a true primary. Red is actually a magenta with yellow in it.<\/p>\n

Purples:\u00a0 The first mix is with Kato Blue. Kato Blue has a magenta bias, so\u00a0it mixes with Magenta to make a clear purple. Kato Turquoise clay is a true primary blue. It doesn’t have much of a bias to either yellow or to magneta so when it is\u00a0mixed with the Magenta\u00a0, the\u00a0Turquoise also\u00a0makes a clear purple. But look at the mixtures with Kato Red! They are both brown instead of purple. That’s due to the yellow in the Red clay.\u00a0 Remember that yellow is the third primary.\u00a0\u00a0It combines with the other two primaries to make mud.\u00a0If you need a clear purple in Kato clay, be sure to use Magenta as your primary, or buy the package Purple.<\/p>\n

Today is the International Day of Climate Action<\/a> and I am off to the rally in downtown Portland.\u00a0 When I get back I will use the Kato\u00a0Tasting Tiles that are now in the oven\u00a0to show you how to find the best primaries for mixing the colors in your collage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
