If the color looks beige or bland, try adding a drop of red and a drop of blue to bring out the undertones.
If you make the shade too yellow-toned, add a drop of blue and a drop of red to balance it out with purple tones. For a more brown-toned shade, add more red than blue to the original mixture. All other colors like cadmium yellows or reds could be added depending on the reflections.
For more warmth, mix in a drop of red, magenta, brown, or orange, depending on the tint that you want to achieve. To make a cooler shade, add a drop of light blue.
If you’re happy with the shade, you don’t have to make it lighter. Most glitter and metallic shades tend to dry brighter than they look when they’re applied.
Keep in mind that large pieces of glitter will be less effective since the paint will coat the flecks of plastic. Try to purchase the smallest glitter that you can to get a sparkly, shiny effect. This is a great option for painting walls and furniture because the glitter will be visible from all angles.
This is a great idea for crafts or paintings because it allows you to apply the glitter anywhere you want.
