mark poulson Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Can I darken my green pumpkin powder paint by mixing in some black? I thought I'd ask before I do something stupid (again). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 My guess is yes as I read on another forum about a guy saying he mixed yellow and black and got green pumpkin. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Mark, I have tried this a long time ago and it did not work for me. What happened when I mixed black with green pumpkin, I got black speckles on green pumpkin. I would try a small amount first to see your results and write down your ratio. I haven't done this in awhile so maybe my memory is not 100% accurate. Let us know if it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Take a 2oz container of green pumpkin and put it in a small bowl. Take a measuring spoon and take out 1 tablespoon of the green pumpkin and add in 1 teaspoon of clear and 2 teaspoons of black (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon) and then mix well or put in a container and shake until well blended. The clear will help distribute the black a little better, if you find it is too dark, add 1/4 teaspoon of yellow and mix well. That has worked for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
