Suggestions for new kk jumbo braid blends?

Post by IKickShins » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:34 pm

I'm thinking of having around 4-8 more blended kk colors made some time in the next few months. I've got a 3 colors in mind already, but I was wondering if any of you hair-makin' mavens have any suggestions for the rest :)

They can be any combination of regular kk colors:

But *not* specialty kk colors because those are from a different manufacturer.

And they don't necessarily have to be equal parts each color. The grapefruit blend I already have, for example, is 50% hot pink, 25% orange, and 25% neon orange.

I'm not sure if it's possible with the colors available in the chart but I would love to see a jumbo braid color similar the Cherry Red silky kk.

Something that is similar to Olive Green ......
Maybe a blend of blonde / green / brown shades ???

This sounds like an awesome colour. Maybe Emerald Green and an Auburn. I think you'd need a touch of red to balance out the then green >.<

Ooh this is soo hard. How can you choose?!

I've always wanted to see Sweet Red and Pink together. I've done this by hand, and it's great!

Agreed on this one! A nice mossy green would be awesome.

If anyone has suggestions on specific colors for an olive green blend, I can definitely do something like that. I'm thinking something like Plastikhaar's waldgrun with more brown in it would probably be closest. It's mostly emerald green with a lighter brown (maybe #10) and a tiny bit of dark blue in it.

That might take some experimenting!
I want to say like, emerald and 4/AM even. Or 10.

I also love equal parts Neon Magenta and Purple.

Like cheshire cat colours!

I would love a colour similar to old sky blue that was discontinued years ago, it was a matte creamy light blue. I have no idea how to make it however :(

I've never seen old sky blue in person, but I am definitely making a light blue blend next time around. It's going to be sky blue, turquoise, and silvery snow blended.

The periwinkle color I have now is lavender, sky blue, and silvery snow and it looks almost solid until you get up close, so I think there's a chance of the blue color turning out well.

That sounds about right for an olive color. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Pastel yellow, or, god above, kelly green. I have no idea what mixes would get those colors, but they would be AMAZING.
