1. A pigment is made lighter by adding to a white gelcoat or pigment base
2. A custom colour is created by mixing primary colour pigments of red, blue and yellow

Very important information on this video. Thank you very very much!

Where can I source this pigment? Will a yellow tinting agent work?

[@thecockneykayaker2239]

are you sure that pigment is RAL 1015? looks more like 1014 looking at your colour chart

[@ecfibreglassuk]

Hi It is definitely Ral 1015 just above the Ral 1016 sulpher yellow in the colour chart. Due to the room's lighting however it does look slightly darker on camera. Kind regards martin

I am having issues with this topic of "color matching". Where can I get this color matching charts and tint breakdowns? I have tried the Scott Bader website etc. and can't find these tools that you are demonstrating quite well. Thanks

Hi the colour charts you can usually find online even ebay just look for RAL classic colour charts or RAL/BS colour charts toget the british standard colours too.
the base colours we use in the video are available website link in the description. At the beginning of the video we used a tiny bit of RAL1015 pigment with white 337 65pa gelcoat. the pigments we used to make our own brown were traffic yellow,signal yellow and signal blue.

how do you know if it is bwn yellow or black you need?

[@ecfibreglassuk]

HI, you will just need to play around with the colour back and forth, start with small sample amount. Ideally you need a bit of an artist eye for colour mixing too.
