This color mixing guide is a tool to help you mix over 100 colors with our set of 10 color inks.

How to Use:

The palette shows Dominant colors and Mixing colors in the margins and when they are mixed, they create the target colors that are in the center

1. Select the color you want to mix from the grid.
2. From that color, follow the row to the left margin to find the Dominant color. Then follow the color down to the bottom margin to find the Mixing color.

Start with more of the Dominant color and slowly add the Mixing color to achieve desired Target color. To lighten, slowly add white.

A cool black with a thin viscosity. Great for fast lines and whip shading. It's slightly transparent which makes this easy to break down for a graywash.

This complete set includes the 4-Stage Graywash, 4-Stage Whitewash, Classic Black, Ivory Black and White.

Whitewash: The future.

This whitewash system allows artists to achieve a smoother gray value with less effort. Many artists add a few drops of white into their graywash. This helps you get a more deliberate value, without needing to build it up through layers. You can expect consistent ink that heals similar to an opaque gray but goes into the skin like a graywash.

Graywash: Where it all started.

Tattoo artists worldwide have turned to using premixed gray wash. Larger batches offer undeniable consistency. Empire Inks heals beautifully in cool tones, causing stark contrast between warm skin tones and cooler bluish grays of the inks.

White: The final step.

Empire spent a lot of time researching different formulas and pigments to help them create a strong white that can be used for both highlights and mixing.

Classic Black: The foundation.

Empire Inks Black was formulated as a cooler black, contrasting well with warm skin tones while maintaining a medium viscosity.

Ivory Black: Empires darkest black.

Ivory Black is Empire's darkest black. Expect a clean and even darker representation of our classic black formula ideal for packing black with excellent saturation. Ivory Black's smooth consistent blend maintains a medium viscosity and contrasts well with warm skin tones.

Empire spent a lot of time researching different formulas and pigments to help them create a strong white that can be used for both highlights and mixing. This white is thick enough for larger fields of solid saturation and thin enough for highlights. It is the highest lightfast white they have found, meaning it will stay white longer in the skin.

Empire's white is loved by many for highlights. This white has twice the amount of pigment, making it great for packing in. They grind the pigment up so that it can fit into the skin more allowing you to be able to pack more into a small space; making the tattoo brighter. This white is not cut with water, which makes it a more pure white. This ink mixes well with color and is a cool white.
