[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by crabuback That's worth a try. What do you suggest to color the realsist water? [/quote] You can buy tinting pigment from a paint or art store. It should be water based. I use to work as a color matcher, so I should have known to tint it with blue. Adding blue to yellow makes green but don't add too much or it'll get too dark. Try doing it in layers of thinned out or transparent blue giving each layer time to dry to see if you like it. How do we see color? White light is basically made of three primary colors, red, yellow , blue. If an object is yellow, it is because the white light strikes the pigment in the object and red and blue are absorbed by the pigment and yellow is reflected.
