MIXING paint for CUSTOM colours! Fusion Mineral Paint || My top four mixing recipes
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I get asked allll the time about my custom mixed colours, and what the make up is. I can't give away all my secrets (lol) but I AM going to show you four of my favourite "recipes" - there are some links below for the products used (unfortunately I couldn't find links for a few, but you can always just do a search for a Fusion retailer near you).
Mixing colours is not quite as easy as it would seem- one trio of colours could make the most amazing new colour, and another trio could make mud, haha. My advice would be to scale it down when trying new blends; don't mix an entire pint if you aren't sure what the result would be. Use drops or tablespoons of each colour first, and when you get a recipe that works, scale back up. :-)
Happy mixing!

RECIPES
For the gorgeous deep navy blue:
Ash-2 parts
Midnight Blue-5 parts
Coal Black-1 part
______________________
For the pretty, light sage:
Sacred Sage-6 parts
Pebble-1 part
Raw Silk-1 part
______________________
For the medium grey with hint of green:
Ash-2 parts
Bayberry-4 parts
Upper Canada-1 part
Putty-1 part
______________________
For the nice medium grey with a hint of blue:
Ash-2 parts
Upper Canada-2 parts
Renfrew Blue-3 parts
Putty-2 parts
Please note- this recipe would be slightly lighter than the original mixed colour (as explained in the video). To get the EXACT colour shown on the dresser, you would need to mix 3 parts Ash, 2 parts Upper Canada, 3 parts Renfrew Blue, and 2 parts Putty, but you'd need to adjust your measurement lines on your jar to give you ten equal parts.

I just found your channel. My friend, you do fantastic work. Your aesthetic is quite refreshing in a world of chalk paint and quick fixes.
When we know how it's difficult to create THE colour that is in our mind, we can understand that you are a gifted magician of colours. Bravo from France. 😊
I adore you! You are one of the best things on KZread right now! Keep up the great work❤️
Fusion should be sponsoring you as I bought some because of you!

Thank you Angie for sharing your colours... have a wonderful day! Christine
OMG, such a gift to share your formulas. I have been experimenting trying to get at least a near grey/green like yours. Did not yet attain it. This is amazing knowledge. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for sharing. Your furniture are my favorites. One of these years, when the world has returned to normal, I am going to put that Maine Ferry to good use and come and adopt one of your pieces.
Thank you for the color recipes. I love all of them!
I like your down to earth and your little jokes. Thank you also for sharing your recipes. 😊
Fusion Mineral Paint should totally endorse you!! All of your custom mix creations are brilliant. You should give them some fancy, sophisticated names 😉✌💚 Thanks for sharing.
Omg 😳 I love all these custom colors especially the last one 🔥🔥
Thanks Angie, it's very sweet of you to share your custom colors with us.🌷
Being a retired hairdresser who specialized in color, I totally get not wanting to share your recipe's! Thank you for sharing, personally I love playing with mixing, only thing is I'm not applying it to hair! Thanks!

Interestingly, this video made me think of hair dye! Seeing Angie's blends next to the original Fusion colors, I like Angie's better because they have more interest and depth. Much like the difference between dying your hair with a box color from the drugstore versus getting it done at a salon from a colorist who blends shades.
You are so generous in sharing both your knowledge and your secret recipes.😆

I cannot pick a favorite. They are all gorgeous.
Thank you! I have only watched 2 episodes and I have learned so much already!
Just got here from the link from the rough dresser makeover you posted today, and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your color 'recipes' with us. All your custom colors are beautiful, and I've got 3 huge (and one smaller) painting projects on my horizon, and that dark, gorgeous blue is going to find its way into the master bed/bath makeover I'm planning. I love the lighter grey-green, too, so I'll be looking for a way to use that one as well.
Your color blends are calming and homey. I didnt realize how ugly my furniture is. LOL.
You are so generous for sharing your secret recipes, really do appreciate it since the new colors are amazingly beautiful 🤩 Thank you 😊💝
Now I regret throwing out all my Fusion jars 🤦🏻♀️ from now on I will save them and custom mix!
Thank you for sharing your colors. Another awesome video.😊
I love the pulls on the last one.
Beautiful colours
Your custom colors are gorgeous and so sophisticated! Thanks for sharing.
Another thing I've found that helps remove lids off paint, pickles, etc. Are kitchen dish gloves. Either put them on or grab the open end & turn.
im literally obsessed with your channel now! thank you for existing!
You are amazing!!! I’m binge watching all of your videos and you are my new favourite to watch. Your voice is so claiming and you never get frustrated. Those colors are gorgeous and Fusion Mineral Paint should hire you to create new colors and sponsor you ❤️ Keep making videos!!! And don’t give away all of your secret recipes 😉 From one East Coast gal to another with the same name…you are AMAZING 🤩 🥰😍
This was such a GREAT and helpful video. I love that you are sharing these. They really make a substantial variance in the final project. I love ALL four, but my favorite is the Renfrew remix. Thanks again Angie

Thank you! You are genuine and do your best to share. Your work and your pieces are beautiful! One small request, remember us from far away countries, we may not have those brands but you can tell us the kind of paint you use ( oil/water based), wax and other material so we can recreate your wonderful finishes. Thank you again!
Thank you so much! I'm currently trying County Chic, but Fusion is my next brand to try. I love it and have to have it more with each of your videos.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I want to try all of them 😁
Great tutorial...keep them coming🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love everything you do!
Agreed with the comments below, this is totally amazing you are willing to share your recipes and show us in great detail how to do it. I have a piece that is calling for your Deep Navy Blue recipe. I can't wait to get that far with it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thank u for sharing this kind of content, really helpful ❤️
Neat! You should give your custom colours names!
Thank you so very much! Great video. I think I want to try the light one with sage.
I love fusion paint also. Never mixed up large batches of custom colors. Smaller ones, yes, so this was helpful
I know it’s a year after you made this video but I just went on the Fusion site & ordered the colors needed for that gorgeous blue. I don’t have a specific project for it right now, but I will very soon. Your creativity is contagious. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Such beautiful colors! The navy that you mixed is very in right now here in the States. Super saturated and moody colors. If you use a rubber (or silicone) spatula from the kitchen, you can mix the colors easier as it would scrape the sides a lot faster. It would help get a lot more paint out of the almost empty jars, too. Thanks so much for these videos! You are amazing at what you do, and I hope the number of subscribers blows up exponentially! Peace . 😍

Great idea
Angie - I love your dark blue! Thanks for sharing your recipes. I'm wondering whether you've tried weighing the mixtures. Maybe I'm trying to be too precise, but it seems like it would be easy to measure in grams using my kitchen scale - just zero it out before each part of the recipe, and add each in succession. This would let me try out my ideas with a really small amount, say 10 or 20 grams of each color.
Beautiful colors! How do you figure out which colors to combine and in what amounts? Do you have a background in art or is this a natural talent? I don't have either so very glad for the tutorial! 👏😀💝

I actually do have an art background, I've been an artist my whole life, really! :-) I painted (on canvas) for years and have been a tattoo artist for approx 10 years as well! But I didn't go to art school, just something I have in me, I guess!
What do you top coat this with? I have used your idea of drawing lines on a jar and I hope to use it again! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you 🌹🌸🌺🌷💐🌼
New sub here and holy crap I’m sooo flippin happy I found your channel! Can’t wait to watch your other videos! Thank you so much for the great info.

I’m lucky to have an art background so I’ve been mixing paint colours for decades- that definitely helps. For anyone just starting out with mixing some custom colours, I totally recommend watching some basic colour theory, or colour mixing videos- it should help out a lot! Also having an eye for seeing the over and under tones in each colour is beneficial for sure- as the original fusion colours are themselves blends and not primary. I hope that makes sense - not much sleep last night. Haha :-) have fun!!

Hi Angie, i want to mix the gray with blue undertones which includes renfew blue, ash, putty and upper Canada. I cannot find upper Canada anywhere. I think it has been discontinued. is there another green that you think would work well in lieu of? Or maybe a different blend? I have ash and renfew on hand now.
@lynnhentges2680

Fusion released a brand new color called 'Conservatory' that is very close to the discontinued Upper Canada color that you can substitute.
Hello Angie! Do you have any ideas to make FMP chocolate brown lighter? My daughter would like me to paint my grandson's dresser and bed, and she thinks chocolate brown is too dark. She would like a color close to Annie Sloan Chalk paint color, Honfleur. Like you, I like FMP much better than chalk paint now. Thanks so very much! I appreciate your suggestions. Deb 😊

Question for you. Have you done any wood pieces with Firefighting foam? I have a antique (cherrywood) piano and a dresser. Both have the foam on them. They were beautiful, not anymore. On both pieces, it’s only damaged on the sides. What can I do? Thank you, for your help 🙏🙏

The long answer here, is as much as I would LOVE to be able to help everyone who reaches out, there sadly just aren’t enough hours in the day. There is another side to this as well- sometimes things don’t come across properly through photos and videos, and are best seen, felt, etc in person. For THIS reason, it can sometimes be difficult to accurately determine the age, finish, wood species, etc of people’s project pieces. There is also the element of user error, when recommending products and finishes, or misinterpretation of my instructions. I get, on average, approx 40+ messages per day between Instagram, FB, KZread, and email (and literally hundreds of questions in the comments). It is unfortunately just not possible to be able to get back to everyone. The short answer is this: you can certainly message me on Instagram and if it’s a simple answer, I may try to help you out. But PLEASE don’t take offence if I’m unable to respond! I need more hours in a day!
have you made something close to seaside? I have a couple of blues - but want more of a green.

One pint would get me (of dressers the size of the last one) three for sure, two coats each, and maybe a tad more. That would be brushed on, not sprayed... spraying always uses a bit more paint.
