Find Your 8  Premo Sculpey/Accents Color Combinations

Wasabi Split Complementary color scheme using Premo Sculpey colors

When you open the palette, you'll notice that the color recipe for your chosen color probably does NOT contain your packaged color. That's because the color samples in ColorMixr™ were made from 8 basic mixing colors and the system finds the closest recipe to your packaged Premo from within that set.

So don't worry about that. You named the palette with the package color name so you know the color you're trying to find combinations for. 

1. Open your new palette and scroll to the bottom of the screen
2. Choose the "Mixing wheel" icon at the bottom left of your screen
3. Go to the top of the screen and tap the gear or sprocket shape to reveal the Color Scheme Generator
4. Choose from one of 7 color schemes:

• Custom
• Analogous
• Triadic
• Monochromatic
• Complementary
• Split Complementary
• Double Complementary

Now SAVE Your Chosen Color Scheme

1. Go to Menu and select Save
2. Go to Menu again and select your new palette.
3. Tap to reveal the beautiful color recipes that are going to make you look good. Remember to swap the middle color recipe for your packaged color name.
4. Start creating!

NOTE: What Colors Don't Work and Why?

Finding color combinations for colors that are very close to black or white isn't going to work with this method.

ColorMixr™ tries to find palettes of colors that have the same relative value (from black through grey to white) of the color that you've chosen as the base for your color palette. For instance, if you've chosen a color with a value that's very close to white, all of the other colors in the palette will also be white. Not too exciting a color combination, right?

So choose a package of Premo polymer clay that's not: 

• Black
• White
• Frost White Glitter
• Pearl
• Translucent
• White Translucent
  
• or Twinkle Twinkle
