What color mix to get cranberry??

[classylady71118]

Is it Red with a touch of black?

TIA,

Red and a touch of Purple or Mulberry

I use Magenta and Red.

I think I use a 8:1 ratio red/black

Well a cranberry color block is actually a bright red, so you could get that with a mix of red and orange. If you want to get the jellied cranberry look, maybe a mix of red with some purple and a hint of black to deepen it or add brown to pull a richer color.

It took me a while to find that too. My Cinnamon Candles is just a little more red than my cranberry. A lot of cinnamon oils will turn them purplish.

I often try adding brown before black...the black sometimes changes the color as opposed to deepening the red (at least in my experience).

This is true for me too. Adding black to red sometimes gives you a hideous purple.

Thanks for the replies, I'll try the red and brown first and go from there...I'll let you know how it turns out after I get caught up re-stocking the store.

Red & Black always makes an ugly mauve color for me. I'd steer clear of that mix.
