Rockler is having a sale on Trans Tint Dye.
I can squeeze buying three into my budget, but not much more, so I'd like to just get primary colors and mix my own secondary colors.
I'll be using them on wood and in casting resin.
I have looked at a number of websites that talk about color mixing and there seems to be disagreement.
some say that the the primary colors for mixing dyes are Red, Yellow & Blue (subtractive). Others say that because dyes are transparent they should be treated more like light, so the primary colors are Red, Blue & Green (additive).
What is the consensus among people here who have actually mixed transparent dyes for wood and PR?
