Pantone Fall 2013 Fashion Colors Acai and Vivacious

I thought I would start you off with clay recipes for two of the new Pantone Fall 2013 fashion colors, Acai, a deep purple and Vivacious, a rich fuchsia or magenta.  The two colors go really well together so make a great combination in the clay.  Purple is one of those colors that does not look good on me, no matter what shade.  I have learned, however, that when you are making jewelry and other accessories to sell, you need to consider the buyer and so we include this color in our work more as there are many purple lovers out there.
This is a bargello style scarf clip in the Acai and Vivacious color combo.


And here are the recipes for these two colors using Kato clay:

Acai
5 parts Mix #10-2 *
1 part Kato Silver

Vivacious:
10 parts Kato Magenta
1 part Kato Red
1 part White Mix #1-2*

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