How To Match Colors With Acrylics

In this video, I demonstrate how to match colors with acrylic paint. I use professional grade acrylics to match color swatches from the Liquitex Basics color chart. The colors I match are:

1:07 Primary Yellow
3:39 Light Blue Permanent
5:31 Ivory Black
9:35 Neutral Gray 5
10:56 Burnt Sienna
12:41 Bright Aqua Green (Turquoise)
14:58 Medium Magenta
17:36 Cadmium Orange Hue

Acrylics have a tendency to dry darker and when I match the Medium Magenta I demonstrate how to compensate for this. You basically have to dry it and then make adjustments. I match the rest of the colors while they're wet to save time.

How precise you are with your color matching is up to you. Some of the colors that I mix are close to being an exact match, whereas I left a few that were slightly off. For example, the Burnt Sienna is darker and I think the Neutral Gray 5 could use more yellow.
