Color Mixing Guide- Interference Colors: Using Color and Light Theory To Test Interference Mixing

In this color mixing guide we are talking about interference paints. What are they? How do they work? What makes them different from other paint pigments? Most importantly, how can you mix interference and acrylics to get the greatest effect? We will look at a little bit of Color and Light Theory to help us understand the results of each mixture. I hope to cover everything in the simplest terms possible.

I will go over interference colors in Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Violet. I am mixing these effects pigments with pure color pigments in Hansa Yellow Light, Quinacridone Red, Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), and Dioxazine Purple (Red Shade). I hope to teach you the basics of additive and subtractive light theories and how they relate to mixing interference and acrylics.

We have covered quite a bit of ground in this color mixing series already. If you missed the previous videos, you can find them here:    • Color Mixing for Acrylic Pour Painting  
If you have any questions about the material I have covered so far, leave me a comment below. I make sure to reply to all of my comments, so feel free to ask away!

In the next video I will talk about all the knowledge we’ve learned so far and how we can use it to our advantage when creating acrylic pours. The things we have learned are not limited to use in fluid art. These rules apply to color and light in general. They should work for most types of paint and effects pigments.
