There are 11 standardized colors (see Procion MX Color Info) in the Procion MX line.

All other colors, no matter the manufacturer, are mixed formulas of two or more of these standardized colors. We offer the extended palette for your convenience, and our entire color line is used in the formulas below, but the ultimate dyer needs only to stock the standardized colors. If color specificity is very important to you we recommend developing your own set of recipes using the standardized colors.

PROCION MX COLOR MIXING CHART

An unlimited color palette can be mixed with Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. Measured quantities of specific colors yield predictable new colors. These color formulas or recipes are suggestions for color. The variables of fiber type and processing, water purity, temperature and freshness of chemical assistants can dramatically vary the dyed results. Always run dye tests, observe and record results before any major dye run. the following color recipes in column four are for one pound of fiber. All measurements are in teaspoons of dye powder. For your convenience, column two lists formulas using the "parts method." Reduce or expand the recipe proportionally to match the weight of the fiber.

Note: You may notice that there are several recipes that have the same constituent colors and the same parts measurements but different teaspoon measurements. This is because when dye concentrations are increased in the dye bath, there is often a color shift.

Note: Small quantities of dye can be measured easily from a stock solution of 1 teaspoon of dye powder dissolved in 1/2 cup water. Use the following chart: 1 tsp. dry dye powder=1/2 cup (24 tsp.) stock solution 1/2 tsp. dry dye powder=1/4 cup stock solution 1/4 tsp. dry dye powder=6 tsp. stock solution 1/8 tsp. dry dye powder=3 tsp. stock solution 1/16 tsp. dry dye powder=1 1/2 tsp. stock solution
