Actually Sculpey put out a color mixing chart for the discontinued colors. It is on their site. Here is the link: sculpey.com/sites/default/files/Premo%20Color%20Mixing%20Guide.pdf As far as Black Pearl goes, you can get a Gray Pearl by mixing Black Premo with Premo Pearl, but the only way to get a Black pearl is to add Black Mica Powder or Eyeshadow to the clay. You would have to experiment with proportions, to get the look you want. Hope that helps! @Teresa D: Hi Teresa! Actually Sculpey put out a color mixing chart for the discontinued colors.

I don 't know about you but I was sadden about the fact that primo canceled those 2 pearl colors. Has anyone found a recipe to take the place of them? And another question has anyone tried to create a black pearl? Or have any suggestion as to how to do this? Ok,y’all.

You can choose a base color and then click on Analogous, Monochromatic, Triad, etc. to see different compliments of the base color. You can also upload your own picture and it will tell you colors which are used in the picture. Or you can simply manually play around with the color wheel and see which colors fit your project. I'm sure for all of those who aren't that good at color theory, including myself, it's a great learning tool. Found a pretty neat website for color harmonies at kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor .

I used the site with this color test, and ColorMunki, at my old job, where my "color detecting abilities" were put to the test constantly when I had to edit photos of hats for sales and marketing, our website, customers, etc. I got really good at knowing when to increase or decrease what color, and I already found that to be a great plus when mixing my own shades of clay!! Thanks for bumping this up, you guys! This is great!

I got a 3...like you, Rada! You're right, it's a little more involved than I thought it was going to be. But I'm very happy with that as a first time score. I didn't think I would do that well, since I don't consider myself a "color" person, either. Yay! Wow, that was fun! I got a 3…like you, Rada!

I never thought of myself as a color person. But thanks to Cindy I've been playing more and more with clay mixing. It's so fun to just take lots of bright colors like pinks and neon greens and blues and end up with a beautiful earth tone color. Very cool.
