Pantone Spring Colors Innuendo and Dahlia

Some of the colors in this year's Pantone Spring & Summer collection are very powerful and yet quite uplifting and joyful.  Dahlia is a beautiful purple, just like the flower.  Innuendo is a rich magenta and actually quite similar to a past Pantone color from fall 2013, called Vivacious, but it is a shade lighter (less saturated).  So if you already have a batch of clay in the Vivacious mixed, it can be easily used as a substitute.

Here are a few clay pieces I made in these two colors.  The large circles in "Innuendo" with the white print shown below will be finished off into interchangeable "snaps".  The other pieces are the colors filled into our stainless steel post earrings.



So here are the color recipes using Kato clay.

Dahlia

3 parts Kato Violet
2 parts Kato Magenta

Innuendo

5 parts Kato Magenta
1/2 part Kato Red
1 part White Mix # 1-2 *

*Note: These base color mixes are found in my Clay Color System Tutorial.
