About This Color Palette

Given the acrylic paints you have—Sap Green, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, and Black—you can still mix a color that resembles #7d9a6d . Here’s how you can do it:

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Base Color: Start with Sap Green as your primary color since it is a green shade that can serve as a good base.

  2. Lightening: Add a small amount of Titanium White to lighten the Sap Green to get closer to the muted tone of #7d9a6d . Add white gradually until you find the right lightness.

  3. Adding Warmth: To warm up the green and get closer to that muted quality, add a tiny bit of Lemon Yellow. Since Lemon Yellow is bright, start with just a small amount (like a drop) and mix thoroughly. This will help create a more vibrant tone.

  4. Muting the Color: If the mixture becomes too bright, you can add a very small amount of Burnt Sienna. This will help mute the brightness and bring a more earthy quality to the color. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even tone.

  5. Adjusting Depth: If needed, you can add a touch of Black to darken the mix slightly, but be cautious as black can overpower quickly.

  6. Test and Adjust: After mixing, test the color on a scrap surface. Adjust by adding more Sap Green, White, Lemon Yellow, or Burnt Sienna until you reach the desired shade.

Example Ratios:

  • Sap Green: 3 parts
  • Titanium White: 1 part (adjust as needed)
  • Lemon Yellow: A tiny touch (adjust as needed)
  • Burnt Sienna: A tiny touch (adjust as needed)
  • Black: A tiny touch (if needed)
