WARNED That Mixing DESERT TAN & PERSIAN BLUE Would Be a Mistake (Sending it anway)

[@dipyourcar]

*Ok be honest.. what did you think would happen?*

[@rustya8063]

I've always wanted to see a "dirty spray" where the colors are not mixed.. would it be a faded marbling?

[@rustya8063]

Maybe, pour into the cup with tubing? (Straws maybe?)

[@ricardocc22]

More mixing colours 😉 4/5

[@h7opolo]

i expected the brown to show more.

[@MaiLingLemPrettyflower2618]

You need to make this one *”Wink Wink Periwinkle”* The winks 😉 are for the two colors (blue and tan) you used to come up with periwinkle. This is absolutely stunning!!

[@pggysu]

Having training as a hairdresser I'm very well acquainted with color wheel 101. With the golden tones in the tan, I expected something in a rich green tone. You do see that green as a shimmer, especially in the last few shots, but the lilac and violet shimmers were definitely unexpected. 5/5 for me!

[@50srefugee]

I too expected a shimmer of green, based on the idea that brown, including tan, is actually a form of yellow.

[@gadaboutgriffon4446]

It looks like periwinkle almost

[@Odood19]

It pulled the blue from indigo towards cyan. I expected a little more green too, like teal.

[@rowdyyeets4532]

Oh my GAHD! How lovely! I thought it was going to be a pretty green.

[@DehydratedHumor]

Initial thought was also green but then I realized the tan had a lot more grey in it (which means there was already some blue there) so I had expected closer to an aqua or teal. I didn't account for how much red/pink was in the initial blue to pull it back to periwinkle.

[@CharlesHuse]

The Desert Tan tones down the Persian Blue without destroying the color, yet makes a wonderful contrast with the dark trim of the Mustang (the dark tint windows, wheels, grill, etc.). It helps keep the color balanced.

[@faithhellman402]

It also gives it a nice purple/grey sheen depending on the angle, which is just so cool!

[@foxymacadoo]

The Desert Tan is made using a White Base as is the Persian Blue plus White Colourant would have been added to both paints originally. That is why the Blue lightened up. Nice combination

[@Royal_Rabbits]

Just yesterday my 5 year old was painting paper plate critters and she made tan from white yellow & red, then mixed it with primary blue. First I though she was just starting to make a mess but after it mixed she got this beautiful soft blue. And now today I get to see this beautiful color used with quality paints sprayed onto a car 💙 I guess I need more of this color in my life lol

[@kgoblin5084]

something to observe - your 5 year old never actually added in blue's complementary color of orange at any point... possibly why this combination doesn't turn into a chromatic grey.

[@ThatGirlJD]

Sounds like your baby has an eye for colors.

[@ninjaydes]

@@kgoblin5084 Yellow + red is orange, so there was good reason to be nervous.

[@L0rdOfThePies]

Im a painter myself and it sounds like your kid knows what they’re doing when it comes to mixing the paints haha, very cool 😎

[@Rickettsia505]

I expected June bug green. Pleasantly surprised. Love the pearl flashes and almost periwinkle base color.

[@kingnuthin44]

I’ve been in the paint industry for twenty years, and it still baffles me how some color combos blend and produce the final colors that you end up seeing. I love this final color-easy 5/5.

[@velvetbees]

I have been a painter and digital artist for fifty years, and I agree. 5/5. On my tablet, this sure looks like a periwinkle blue in the glass container. And a blueberry blue on the car. Gorgeous. Would look lush going down the road on a sunny day.

[@spayced]

Thats funny, I paused before mixing and was prett close. The main clue was the amount of white in the tan. Its got very little color of a bit of orange maybe. So its going to lighten overall first and then after that mix in the orange which has red that makes that halfway between a purple and teal. Another thing to remember is blue is always stronger than other colors. So 50/50 blue with anything will come out more blue. Something with how human eyes work imo

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Agree 5/5 classy but not at all boring

[@mickvictor]

I predicted a gray shade. It looked like I was gonna be right for a little while. The end color was no where near what I thought it would be. Initially, it appears lavender, but the more you look at it, the more blue it becomes. I give it a 5 for uniqueness.

[@icarusbinns3156]

It’s almost iridescent, right?

[@bethanyschnieder3482]

Yeah, it is at certain angles. I'd so love to have any vehicle that has this iridescent finish to it. It looks beautiful.

[@eligebrown8998]

Same here

[@regularperson9965]

looks like he added more blue

[@g0d5m15t4k3]

Yeah the gray in the mixer was interesting. It was like a gray base with lilac sheen. The final color was way more blue than it looked in the mix.

[@EddVCR]

I never expected the mixture to turn out as a frosty and sophisticated periwinkle with pearlescent violent shine. I think it’s gorgeous!!

[@richardmiller2334]

I love the color! I expected something like a muddy brown. I think you should call this color “Persian Desert,” or “Persian Sky.”

I actually really like this. It’s kind of bordering on periwinkle which I did not expect at all from this mix. It’s nice. 4/5

[@Rusty90]

Hmmm, didn’t know what color it’d turn into yet have the perfect base color already on on the stang? Could be the beers I had, but something seems sketchy here

[@allenl9031]

That's the colour I'd call it too. I give it a 3.5. I was expecting mud.

My thoughts exactly. Like a deep periwinkle.

[@sureshot8399]

Periwinkle Blue is best suited to caravans. Fer me Ma.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

"actually"

[@UniGya]

I thought it would be a more green color, wasn't expecting a purplish blue. The way it shifts from sky blue to lilac to even violet from some angles is super cool

[@hockypockies]

same, it's beautiful! 5/5 for sure

[@MaiLingLemPrettyflower2618]

I never would have poured that together, but I'm really digging the Lavender-shift-berry result.

[@knitty781]

Did NOT expect this beautiful pearlescent blue. When I saw the mixing, I realized it's a great shade. The Desert Tan added nice warm undertones to the Persian Blue, which is hard cool tones.

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

I’m a blue freak, I love every shade of blue! This is a VERY solid 5/5 for me. You could show this car to anyone and nobody would ever guess that tan was part of the mix! BANGER!!!

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

5/5 I'm quite surprised at how dominant the blue is, yet you've made a more subtle colour by adding the desert tan. I honestly was expecting it to go more green but this is way better than I imagined

[@ianhowick]

Honestly i was expecting the Tan to function more like a yellow, and make some kind of swampy green. Would love to see this on white and black speed shapes. And it preserves the colorshift too! 5 out of 5, absolutely Gorgeous!

[@Nessy-of-the-Lynn]

Yeah it is surprising that the tan worked more like a red in this case.

[@kathyu4953]

I thought a tinge of greenish as well

[@willhandy5345]

Didn’t know what to expect. The result is basically quite lovely. Initially it seemed to be on the edge of boring, just kinda… blue. Pretty, but lacking just a little zing. ThenI began seeing the color shifts. I think it’s a great success.😊

[@sallymitchell703]

this came out beautifully! love the subtle shimmer. the desert tan tempered the fierceness of the persian blue wonderfully. it looks like the sky. i have a feeling this will be a popular combo for lots of folks.

[@moonexed]

I love this color so much. Definitely a 5/5. It's strange because when it was being mixed it turned an almost silver color, or so it looked like, but then when it sprayed on it felt much darker than the final result looked. A gorgeous color in the end, either way.

[@morganus62]

This is exactlly what I thought at the start during mixing, and I really do like the color shifts in the paint, the hood shows the best color shift in the video. 5/5 for me

[@better.better]

during the mixing I was thinking it was going to be a milky lavender, during the spring though it was matching the blue painters tape, so I think the lavender was coming from the color shift component.

[@HyperactiveSloth79]

My very first instinct when you described it was it was gonna be a soft green. Once i saw the colors for myself and saw how bright and iridescent the blue is and how subtle the tan is i figured it would end up being a purplish grey. I thought i was right when you were mixing it, but that blue held strong! I would have bet money that would not be the outcome. I'm shocked!

[@electrictommichael]

This might be one of if not my favorite color you've done recently. I love the subtle wide color shifts and the Dessert Tan really lightens and pastels out the Persian Blue and it's shifts.

[@KvndS29]

I love it! The color shifting qualities are still there, but I never expected it to hold the blue to purple ish highlights and not see the tan at all. A definite 4+ to me anyway

[@metal100k]

Tans are usually made with majority white and a little bit of color( for other paints like wall paints anyway) and vibrant blues are usually majority blue colorants. The yellowish colors combining with the blues in the undertones looks nice.

[@Sailor376also]

The colour is exactly as I expected, blue is a very powerful colourant. What I did not expect was brightness, seeing the reds and salmons rise out of the finish as the camera walked around the car. 4 out of 5

[@Graves-81_69]

I never would’ve thought those two would make such a beautiful color. I’m learning so much from this channel. I can only imagine how great it looks in person

[@geoffstrickler]

It’s much better than I expected, even after you mixed it. Wasn’t until you started spraying it that I started to look decent. I’m guessing that a 2:1 mixture of Persian Blue & Desert Tan might look even better. 4.5/5 rating.

[@VeroNika-sw3rw]

That's absolutely gorgeous! 5/5 definetely one of my favourite combos. The subtle shimmer is so pretty.

[@philocleigh]

I love the purple hints/lowlights. I also like the more-muted-than-persian blue. But, I gotta say, the end result was not at all what I expected! Great job!

[@naefaren3515]

Very solid color. I'm a massive fan of it. I had no idea what the base colors looked like, so I just kinda envisioned what I thought it mgiht look like, and it was definitely much darker, though not very brown.

[@mcgothbox1]

As an oil painter that blue with that tan resulted in exactly how I expected it. The part I really liked was the pearl in the blue. It made it quite nice. When I paint and I don’t have black handy I use a brown and a blue. Burnt Umber + Ultramarine Blue = Black. It would also depend on how transparent the colors are.

[@blizzard_the_seal9863]

ooo this is gonna be very helpful in my painting class, thanks 😈 (the ultramarine + burnt umber thing)

[@Grannynan]

I paint with watercolors, and I was taught to always mix my blacks and browns for more depth, using complimentary colors. I am surprised by the outcome, but I absolutely love the result! Different mediums have different properties!

[@wildflower1397]

Sometimes I wonder if a lot of us artists watch these just for the color porn, not the cars. 😂

[@brawding1]

Was definitely thinking more grey then brown but you guys ended up making a excellent blurple alternative I like it

[@IcecalGamer]

Same here. I thought more "gray"; desaturated the blue WAY more. But whatever that Persian-blue pigment is, it's strong.

[@roselinatiger99]

I genuinely expected this, 100 percent, and rate it a total 5/5 for the subtle color shift, absolutely spectacular turn out in my opinion. The tradition of Gabe's concern being a GOOD sign reigns on!

[@Animefan5890]

The shade of blue is absolutely lovely, and the hints of purple that peek out here and there just makes the combi gorgeous 😍 💜 💙

[@appleman3216]

I love this video so much. When I studied painting at college, this was the main concept my professor taught us. That mixing colors isn't like mixing on a color wheel. There are so many variables that can affect your end result when mixing. I'm definitely gonna use your guy's video as an example of this in my art classes!

[@staciecarrel4492]

It’s all down to tinting strength and opacity. Some pigments just pack more of a punch, even if they’re the same color. Titanium white and zinc white are a good example. In acrylics zinc white has a tinting strength of almost nothing and it has a low opacity. It’s good for fog and mist in a landscape. Titanium white though behaves much better in blends and does what you’d expect it to do.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

I'd give this a 5 out of 5. This Color is Beautiful! As @wiredshini said, it's almost Periwinkle Blue, with Hints of Lavender. Definitely not what I Expected. I was Expecting a Green, since the Desert Tan looked kind of Yellowish, and Everyone knows Blue & Yellow Make Green.

[@k.c1126]

Yes, periwinkle is what I was thinking... And I was also expecting a green...

[@robertcartledge3581]

I am not normally a lover of blue cars, but this is a very striking, toned down remarkable blue tone. I love this color 4/5.

4.5 It would definitely make you take a second look driving down the road. I would be curious to see some variations of this like 1/4 blue and 3/4 tan and vice versa.

gorgeous color. when mixing, i noticed a greenish shimmer, and i'm glad i can still somewhat see that in a cyan highlight. absolutely beautiful, especially with the purple undertones.

[@cindypereyra6210]

That’s one of the most beautiful colors yet. I love the subtle color shift you still get. I normally wouldn’t pick a blue car, but if this were an option, I’d grab it. 💝

[@JV-pu8kx]

If I ever had the chance to buy new, I would strongly consider this color.

[@larryplympton9727]

I'm completely surprised at how well this turned out. I was expecting a boring mid-tone brownish color and instead it came out like this. That is a very pretty blue and the subtle shifts add depth. 4/5.

[@elainekiskis2001]

I give this a 5. The color is so elegant. A subtle blue/gray. I knew it wouldn't be brown, but I thought it would have more of a green tint because there was so much yellow in the tan. I love it.

[@MsDesignDiva]

In all honesty I actually like this colour more than if it was just the blue on it's own, the tan mixed in makes it more of a subtle blue and I love it. Also nothing boring about this colour, 5/5 I am a fan. I'd call it a periwinkle blue colour (which fun fact is actually a colour that appears in nature on Periwinkle flowers)

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

As an artist i guessed it would be a soft blue , but because the paint colours are mixed using lots of pigments its not totally predictable, especially because of the pearl , its quite beautiful in a subtle way . 4/5

[@warrenpuckett4203]

Reminds me of a bit of a 1960s air force staff car in the jug. But it is a soft blue on the car. Must have been some red in the tan. Good for finding it, in a bunch of Mustangs. Hated that when I was test driving. Finding a car when 15 others are also trying find the car for the day out of 400 cars in the lot. The timing of pushing the key fob is crucial.

[@warrenpuckett4203]

Oh and as far as my monitor shows it. I like it.

[@zeldafan7457]

I got recommended this video entirely randomly, but 5/5!! The normal Persian Blue would be a bit too intense for me but this actually perfect. You just made my dream car

[@Arevir6892]

It came out looking pretty good. Like Gabe, I was expecting something horrible, but it came out looking great. The sad part is that when you were mixing it, it got my hopes up because that sort of blueish gray you had in the gallon looked amazing, but obviously, it changed once sprayed. It's a 5/5 for me.

[@lukebaehr3851]

It's always worth (YOU GIVING IT A SHOT) and showing everyone if it works out. The amount of color combos that exist in your inventory provides more than enough for people to choose from without risking an expensive failure. Thankyou for doing these videos so people dont risk failures.

[@martapinkston6913]

Wow. That was a surprise! I was team Gabe, expecting a bucket of meh, but that was a really lovely blue with a subtle pearl shift. The blending and pour showed periwinkle so I was surprised the end spray came out as a strong cornflower color. I'd be quite happy to have that on my car! 5/5.

[@botezsimp5808]

Gabe would be boring without Fonzie. They make a great team. You need both Chaos and Order!!

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

I would use that color to paint minis. As someone who paints mini's, I mix a lot of colors. I found that a bright yellow and bone white makes a color that's great for bamboo. I give it a 4.5, I really like it and it's really nice, though I liked how it looked more in the blending process. I see why it came out lighter then Persian blue, the desert tan ended up lightning the blue up a bit, and gave it a bit of a pearl look.

[@juliann1984]

I did not expect a periwinkle color from that combo, but I was confused why you guys thought it would be dark. I definitely thought the desert tan would dilute the blue... 🤔 I do like the color, so it'd be a 4/5 for me.

Tan is blue, red and yellow with white to lighten it up from brown. Adding the Persian blue would add to the blue in the mix and the white would tone it down. The color shift really helped this from becoming boring. It’s a nice color.

Not what I would have expected. The result is much bluer than anticipated. I was thinking it would be something somewhat greener but not really 'darker'. I like the color 5/5. A series of different mixes with from 10% Persian Blue up to this 50% would be interesting.

[@ThaWang]

I actually was expecting a lighter blue due to the fact that Persian Blue is so strong/vibrant.Ended up in between a blue and purple I'd say. not bad. However now I am intrigued to see what would happen if you add a 3rd color (at 50%) :)

That color is fire. The prism shifts are amazing.

[@brianhall4182]

I only work with miniature paints but color mixing is always really interesting. Different paints of the same color can achieve different affects when mixed simply due to the manufacturers using different recipes to get the same hue. A lot of them are multi-pigment with different opacities and coverage. Darker colors are usually stronger as well due to having larger pigment particles. Combine all of that and you wind up getting some surprising results when mixing up your own colors.
