The ink color, although it is secondary, that is, obtained by mixing primary and secondary colors, is bright and saturated.

To apply such a tone instead of peremptory black or too energetic blue means getting unexpectedly deep and diverse options for interior design, clothing, makeup. In this case, you need to know what color the ink color is combined with.

Warm or cold: inky riddles

When choosing a particular color, first of all, one must proceed from the effect it has on the psyche and mood of a person.

There are warm and cold options:

• warm color makes you worry, arouses emotions, forces you to action;
• cold tone gives peace and self-confidence, stabilizes emotional stress;
• mixed colors can have a dual effect on a person's he alth and physical condition; they can have a cool and warm tone, they can be neutral.

Ink colorrefers to a warm neutral range of mixed colors, and this must be taken into account when choosing ink tones for decorative purposes. A warm tone is always visually larger, it suppresses cold colors and can neutralize mixed ones. This must be taken into account and it is equivalent to choose shades, striving for harmony.

How to get inky color?

This original tone is always the author's and it depends on the chosen color mixing option.

There are three ways to get an ink tone.

The first way, the most simple and standard. It consists in mixing the basic blue paint with black in the required proportion.

To do this:

1. Put blue paint on the palette with a spatula.
2. Place some black next to it.
3. With a wide brush, pull black paint drop by drop, mixing with blue.
4. Compare the result with the desired sample, if the ink is not saturated enough, add a little black.
5. When diluted with water, the resulting sample loses saturation, this must be taken into account, add paint in the same proportions.

The ink color in the photo in a collage with shades of electric blue shows the mutual complementation and cooling of warm dark blue tones. The drawing looks impressive and mysterious.

Method of contrasts

The second way to obtain ink involves the use of a color wheel (in the figureabove). This method is based on mixing opposite colors in order to obtain the desired shade.

Ink from orange:

• Put blue paint on the palette as the basis of the future tone.
• Place an orange next to it, which tends to an orange hue.
• Start brushing orange towards blue, blending very gently.
• With the right ratio, you get a gorgeous warm color with a bit of velvety notes of black-brown.

Ink in design

There are many ways to use the ink color combination with other colors, for example in the interior.

In the photo, a deep blue sofa was originally used with all the shades of the nearby "color wheel" palette. The base contrast, which sets a refreshing and dynamic mood, is white with splashes of yellow and taupe.

Mixing analogues to create the desired tone

The third way to get ink paint options is to mix analog or close options on the color wheel.

For a beautiful and deep inky shade, try mixing purple with a base blue.

1. Put blue and purple on the palette with a spatula. You need to take more blue paint than in the first two options.
2. Add a little purple paint to blue, achieving the desired color.
3. If you use acrylic paints, please note: they darken when dry. Cover the sample with the resulting paint. Wait until the surface is completely dry, this will be the real tone.
4. If the resulting color does not suit you, add blue or purple until the desired tone is obtained on your palette.

Couture fashion loves this wonderful shade, especially in autumn/winter.

Combination of inky with other tones

Warm and cool tones can be soothing or uplifting. Made from a mixture of cool blues plus reds or oranges, they produce deep purples, pale lavenders, and neutral inks.

The combination of purple with green-beige tones carries signs of both the warm and cool sides of the color wheel. Shades of green or turquoise, created by mixing hot yellow and cool blue, give a soothing hue.

The thoughtful mixing of colors and their combination gives amazing effects in interior design.

The photo below shows a subtle combination of background ink with close shades of gray-blue. This use of color in the interior allows you to focus on the details of the interior: a wrought iron chandelier, a handmade table, soft leather chairs attract attention. The interior has a feeling of warmth and comfort.

In contrast to the example above, depending on the designer's goals, adding turquoise and blue tones will bring coolness to the interior, butat the same time make it more natural, in line with the very spirit of nature.

After all, in nature, blue and green tones are not only symbolic, but also natural, they reflect the surrounding nature.

The photo below shows an interior done in cool colors with inky color on the wall and furniture. Pale green cool shades of glass surfaces symbolize the air and water outside the window.

The interior harmoniously echoes the landscape outside the window, it seems that nature itself has settled in the living room.

An example of the varied use of ink color complements the understanding of color symbolism.

Matching and mixing shades allows you to find out the relationship of harmonizing, adjacent, contrasting or newly created complementary colors from a standard set of colors.

Perfect use of ink is determined by its saturation, contrast with other colors, and the artist's purpose.
