Barbie Pink in Polymer Clay

I don't go out to the movies anymore since I lost my "Claymate" and hubby Dave.  I prefer now to wait until I can watch the latest films from the comfort and convenience of my own home.  Not that I don't miss going out.  I do very much and our favorite way of celebrating our Anniversary was dinner and a movie.  I have seen so many trailers for the latest Barbie movie and I have to say, it looks like a whole lot of fun.  I hope to see it sometime soon, but, in the meantime, I notice a lot of people have been into the color Pink -- specifically pinks that "Barbie" would wear.


So I decided to research the color and see what the Pantone Color Institute had to offer.  I also checked to see if there were other color matches for the Pantone 219 C and my Pantone Connect app came up with 3 close matches -- all of which I have shared my color recipes previously, on this blog.


To make things easier for you, I will provide you the links to these colors here (click on the color name below) so you can mix up some fun "Barbie" pinks in time for the Christmas season!  So here goes:

The best match is:

Cabaret

First Alternative:

Fuchsia Fedora


Second Alternative:

Pink Yarrow

The color Beetroot Purple was one of the spring colors for this year.  A close match to this shade was Pink Yarrow.  If you click on the name you will see the post I wrote on it.

So any of these three magenta pinks can work really well if you would like to create some vivid "Barbie Pinks".  I hope you have some fun with it!
