Cyan/Magenta/Yellow really is the magic with mixing pigments. All these Rainbows in this series have been a delight.

[sidmelucci]

Brilliant! Literally. ; -)
My favorite tonight was that slatey blue in the triad–the ½ blue, ¼ yellow, ¼ red (#9, counting top down, then left to right). Such an elegant color; and it broke so beautifully.

These rainbows have been very interesting and confirm to me that I need some of that yak blend.

[jordang]

the 3 middle colors are really calling to me. perfect for a cozy fall project.

[TheMsAjr]

Oh my gosh, that yak has got me wanting to dye some yarn. I love this base on every set from this series. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate how your mind works.

This is my favourite video of yours ever and I've watched a lot of your videos. Incredible results but just so much fun to watch

[CheriMurphy]

I love how your final rainbow turned out. I was thinking that for the purple you should have done something that was between the the original two purples, to have something just a little more blue than the one you picked, which is where the color ended up. I kind of wish I'd gotten this set, but I can dye up my own, now that I've seen you do it!

[cathseyecatcherscatherinen]

Perfect timing on your video 😀 I just got Dharma primaries ☺️ Loved the result! Especially liked to see the colors on yak ❤️

[MOLLIMEDIA]

What a fun and interesting experiment!

[LaynieFingers]

Something fun (if counterintuitive) - you can make red by mixing magenta and yellow!

[mirandavikanderson]

Questions, do u think the purple is close to the royal purple darma makes or the freedom close to tge Kelly green

[n.ayisha]

i get a touch of PTSD every time you use "caribbean blue". it is such a lovely color, but what a pain! i've used it with a few sweater quantitates of yarn over the years, and those experiences tended to end with a combination of profanity and booze. no pain, no pretty yarn. that's a saying, right?
