DYE COLORS
1. OUR COLOR:
BROWN
RATIO:
5 - PARTS YELLOW
4 - PARTS RED
2 - PARTS BLUE
Brown is a mixture of the three primary colors, Yellow, Red, and Blue. Basic composition is
slightly more Yellow than Red and about half as much Blue as Red. Brown appears to be a pure
Brown with no Red, Yellow or Blue highlights. Brown is used most often as a base color that is
shaded with Red, Yellow, Blue, Rust or Dark Rust for specific applications. Brown is a good color
for taking light Tan to Brown, Rust to Dark Rust, and Dark Rust to Dark Brown.
CAUTIONS:
Avoid applying Brown to Green or Blue. The resulting colors will appear murky.
SOLUTIONS TO CAUTIONS:
Shade Brown with Red for green carpets, or use Rust or Dark Rust.
Shade Brown with Orange or Rust for darker blue carpets, or use Rust instead of Brown.
14. OUR COLOR:
DARK BROWN
RATIO:
3 - PARTS YELLOW
6 - PARTS RED
2 - PARTS BLUE
Dark Brown is made up of the three primary colors, Red, Blue, and Yellow. Composition is 50%
more Yellow than Blue, and twice as much Red as Yellow.
Dark Brown is well suited for taking Orange to Brown, Rust to Brown, Dark Rust to Dark Brown,
Brown to Dark Brown, and Medium blue to Dark Brown.
Within our system, Red, Rust, Orange, Brown, or Dark Rust most often uses Dark Brown as a base
color that is shaded.
CAUTIONS:
Avoid applying Dark Brown to tan, Yellow, or light pastel colors. Dark Brown’s violet
cast will result in flatness of appearance.
SOLUTIONS TO CAUTIONS:
For the colors listed under “caution”, Shade Dark Brown with Red,
or use another color entirely.
