Q: Can I mix 2 or more pigments to create a custom color?
A: Absolutely! Mixing pearls, pearl enhancers, or drop in pigments together can create awesome custom colors! We HIGHLY reccomend testing small scale prior to using on a large project though as some colors do not work well together. *Mixing 2 colorshifting pigments from oposite ends of the color spectrums can cancel each other out and create a "muddy" effect*
