For a digital showcase i need a mix from two ral colours e.g. 100%RAL6003 + 33%RAL6007.
Any suggestion how to get this done??
Regards
Harry

Re: Need a colour mix
Hi Harry,
First, I went to http://rgb.to/ral/page/2 to convert RAL colors to RGB values.
RAL 6003= RGB 80,83,60 or Hex/HTML #50533c
RAL 6007= RGB 44,50,34 or Hex/HTML #2c3222
I opened a new file (menu File/new... or Ctrl+n), color depth RGB - 8 bits/channel, and the background color HTML #50533c (RAL 6003, the 100% component) or RGB 80,63,60.
I added a new raster layer and flood filled with color HTML #2c3222, or RGB 44,50,34 (RAL 6007)
I adjusted the new raster layer to 33% opacity and used the eye dropper, set to "use all layers" in the tool palette (F4) and read RGB values 68, 72, 51.
Menu Edit/Copy merged, then Edit/Paste as new image, and then the eye dropper gave the same result, 68, 72,51. Use the eye dropper to change the color in the Materials palette if you need to, or input the values.
After doing this I wanted to verify that this was a good method, or at least not 100% wrong.
I found a question and answer at http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/ ... y-i-expect
I followed the calculations in the first three shaded boxes, mixing a background plus one color, using the RGB values of the RAL colors, and after rounding values came up with 68, 72, 51, so I'm reasonably sure it's okay for screen viewing. I won't guarantee mixing real paint.
I hope it helps a bit, or points you in the right direction.
Edit: and if I'm way off base, just disregard this post
