In the Golden Mantis solid wood coated with mud process, the selection and mixing of mud colors are the key to achieving rich and diverse color effects.
First of all, for the selection of mud colors, the overall design style and application scenarios should be considered. If it is used to create a natural and simple atmosphere, you can choose mud colors in earth tones, such as brown, ochre, etc. If you want to create a fresh and elegant effect, soft colors such as light blue and light green may be more suitable. At the same time, you also need to consider the coordination with solid wood. For example, light-colored solid wood with slightly darker mud colors can highlight the sense of layering, while dark solid wood combined with light-colored mud can create a contrasting visual impact.
There are many techniques for color matching. You can get unique colors by mixing different natural mineral pigments. For example, mixing red iron oxide and yellow iron oxide in different proportions can get a series of different red tones from orange to brown. At the same time, adding an appropriate amount of white pigment can make the color lighter, forming different degrees of light color system. For those who want to achieve more complex color effects, the layered coloring method can be used. First, apply a layer of base color on the surface of the mud, wait for it to dry, and then add other colors on it. Through wiping, polishing and other means, different colors can penetrate and blend with each other to create a texture similar to antique.
In addition, chemical additives can also be used to change the color characteristics of the mud. For example, adding certain metal salts can make the mud present a special metallic luster after firing. In addition, during the mixing process, attention should be paid to the uniform mixing of pigments. You can use a mixing device or stir it by hand to ensure the consistency of the mud color. At the same time, according to different drying and firing conditions, the color may change, so multiple tests and adjustments are required. In short, by carefully selecting the mud color and cleverly using the mixing techniques, the Golden Mantis solid wood coated with mud process can achieve rich and diverse, unique and charming color effects to meet the aesthetic needs and design requirements of different customers.
