In early 2024, I purchased a set of Sarah Renae Clark's Color Cube cards and immediately went to work figuring out how to mix polymer clay primaries to make the colors on the cards.  Istarted out with a peacock card because, well, peacocks! 

​

​​

After working with the cards and the clay for a while, I thought, there has to be a way to use math (with some color theory and a bit of science) to come up with the color recipes.  Once I had that somewhat figured out, I thought, there needs to be an app for this!  How hard could that be?

​

Many years ago, I was a programmer and I've always kept up with technology to some extent.  So, I set about learning the process of creating an app, learning a new programming language and platform, and learning how to get an app into the app stores.

​

I have an amazing group of friends (and more who I have met through this journey!) who agreed to help test the app by testing hundreds of colors and helping with feedback.  They've helped with suggestions, kept me on track, and reminded me to keep it simple and straightforward. Thank you.  You know who you are!

PC Color Mixer has been available in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play store for some time now and the user base is growing all the time.  Hundreds of polymer clay artists are now using the app to mix clay colors!

​​

You don't need the Color Cube cards to use the app, but they are an awesome tool that I highly recommend.   See Help for suggestions on where to find  hex color codes for the colors that you want to make.

​

I am continually working to improve the app.  Please email me with any feedback or suggestions that you have.  I'd love to hear from you!
