Orange recipes

[SecretAgentMan]

Does anybody know a recipe for orange? Not happy with the oranges I'm trying and would like to make my own. 1:1 Noodler Red and Yellow?

[King of the Road]

I just made the following:

- equal portions of Herbin Rouge Caroubier and Diamine Sunshine Yellow (1:1)

 

I love the result. It looks similar to Diamine Orange, but behaves better.

hi there!

 

i'm a fan of rohrer&klingner so my orange blend goes something like this:

 

helianthus yellow:morinda red:fernambuk light red 4:1:1

 

and turns into a very pleasant and well-behaved deep pumpkin orange

Hmm,

 

Have you tried out CdA's Saffron? In the meantime my favourite orange (I think).

Not too bright (a bright red just like a bright or "true" blue is always good), but this orange is a deeper orange. IMO not as pure or true an orange with more yellow as in saffron itself (which I always use in a paella dish) or as orange as a real piece of fresh orange peel... but then again not too brown or green an orange, either.

Maybe somewhat more the colour of some fresh rust (as somebody else said lately).

hi again,

 

just checked my ink book, the R&K mix should be 6:2:2.

sorry about that, my memory failed me.

still a great orange though

Diamine Monaco Red and Rohrer and Klingner Sunflower Yellow (Helianthus) makes a very nice orange - similar to the Iroshiziku Yu-Yake and CdA Saffron. I use about 1/3 Monaco Red and 2/3 Sunflower Yellow. This combination gives a deep orange that gives a lovely shading.

If you like the color of Orange Crush soda...try Private Reserve Orange Crush! They did a pretty good job. Probably more fun to mix it, though.

You might want to take a look here. I recently decided to go down the CMYK route for making colors that I don't frequently use, but do sometimes have a need for (eg. red). I suppose that any color ink produced with the same composition as the regular Noodler's colors can be created by mixing CMYK colors, but I'll be buggered if I'm clever enough to figure it out. However, the chart is helpful in mixing some basic colors and getting an idea of what a sample might look like before blindly trying and coming up with a muddy mess.

Zombie thread, I know. I found the Noodlers Yellow + Shah's Rose orange mixes to not be saturated enough compared to Apache Sunset or Diamine oranges.

 

Here's four orange shades from mixing Rohrer & Klingner Helianthus with Fernambuk. I think 4, which is a 1:1 mix, or 6 (2H:3F) looks an awful lot like the much pricier Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki.

 

I ordered the Fernambuk mostly to try this, as I don't have much love for slightly pinkish red ink, but slightly pinkish oranges I like. And, I needed an extra since five bottles works well for free shipping to USA from Seitz .

 

Line 6 is 2:3 and 8 is 1:2 ratio of Helianthus:Fernambuk
