Mixing paint can be fun and a little addicting – and sometimes it’s just the ticket when you need that perfect color for your project.
Here are a few tried and true recipes from the Woodcraft/Black Dog team using Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint to help you create a paint color that fits your décor perfectly.
· To lighten a color and soften the intensity, add Clean Canvas (a true white)
· To darken and make it a deeper hue, add Black Dog (a true black)
Feel free to print the recipe cards below to make it easier!
