I worked my project using the Apple Barrel craft paint line manufactured by Plaid. Chose the purest hues possible, regardless of the name of any particular paint color. When you purchase your craft colors, please refer to the manufacturer’s color chart, which shows all of the colors in that line of paint. One company may call the pure hue red color Fire Engine Red, while another names the same color Apple Red, and a third might name theirs Candy Cane Red. So the manufacturer will name their pure hue red Cadmium Medium Red for each different line of paint.Ĭraft paints, made for the hobby market, have their own specific names for their hues, tones, and color shades depending on the manufacturer. Most paint manufacturers use the chemical-based name for their artist color lines, whether those colors are acrylics, watercolors, or oils.
