The Color Result of Amber and Paua
When you mix amber and paua, you get a stunning combination of warm golden tones from the amber and iridescent blues and greens from the paua shell. The result is a unique and beautiful color that can range from a deep teal to a shimmering gold depending on the ratio of amber to paua.
Difference with Paint Colors
Unlike mixing paint colors where you can precisely control the outcome by following a color wheel, mixing natural materials like amber and paua can lead to unexpected and enchanting results. This unpredictability is part of the charm of working with these organic materials.
RGB Colors
Amber and paua are not typical RGB colors that can be easily replicated on a computer screen. The rich organic hues of amber and the iridescence of paua shells are unique and complex, making them difficult to reproduce digitally.
History of Amber
Amber has been prized for its beauty and rarity for thousands of years. It is fossilized tree resin that can range in color from pale yellow to deep orange. Ancient cultures believed that amber held magical properties and it was often used in jewelry and religious ceremonies.
History of Paua
Paua, also known as abalone, is a type of marine mollusk that is found in the waters around New Zealand. The shell of the paua is known for its striking iridescence, with colors that shimmer and change in the light. Paua has been used by Maori people for centuries in traditional art and jewelry.
