What is the colour of maple?
The maple colour is usually light brown or honey with some yellowish or reddish tones. The variation in shades may depend on the type of wood and the way it is processed.
What determines the colour of maple?
Maple colour variation is influenced by several factors, including variety, growing conditions, seasons and soil composition. Climate, light conditions and soil nutrient composition all affect the colour of maple leaves. In the autumn, colder nights and shorter days cause chlorophyll to break down, giving way to shades of red, orange and yellow.
How is it possible to mix the maple colour?
When blending maple colour, the aim is to create a warm, medium-light shade that reflects the natural colour of the maple tree. This usually requires a combination of red, yellow and brown. Start with a basic yellow shade, then add a small amount of red for a cute effect. Then add brown little by little until you get the desired warm tone. It's important to always add small amounts and mix well to avoid too strong shades.
