This may sound dumb but..... Can a color close to one shot maroon be mixed... if so.. can you share??? Posted by W. R. Pickett (Member # 3842) on :
...That's easy Mike, combine RED and BLACK.

red and black kills the color but to mix up a maroon you would use purple and bright red then add droplets of black and white sparingly to achive the best combo.
Color mixing is an art in itself, a color has to last as well as show it best Posted by old paint (Member # 549) on :

1-shot Bright red + Proper purple to taste. Maroon fades in less than a year!

I find if I have to put a maroon down, that a red- oxide or burnt-sienna coloured ground coat first, and maroon on top gives the best appearance of durability. (like for cutting & spraying, or backgrounds) If the maroon does fade, and it will, it'll fade to something similar & gutsy that lasts.
