Of course, we can&#8217;t think about gradient colors without thinking of Skinner blends. The gradient used here is made by adding varying amounts of white to the base color, but you could also go in the other direction, and add blacks, which would darken the gradient. You could also try analogous blends, using a limited color palette of colors that are near each other on the color wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/makeitwithme-kell.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/grape-hyacinth-tutorial.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/graduated-colored-cups\/jhguiybg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg.jpg?fit=596%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"596,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"jhguiybg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg.jpg?fit=430%2C462&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6100\" alt=\"jhguiybg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveonline.net\/thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg-480x515.jpg?resize=480%2C515\" width=\"480\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg.jpg?resize=480%2C515&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg.jpg?resize=139%2C150&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jhguiybg.jpg?w=596&amp;ssl=1 596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The artist who made these\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/makeitwithme-kell.blogspot.ca\/2013\/03\/grape-hyacinth-tutorial.html?utm_source=BP_recent\" target=\"_blank\">grape hyacinth pins<\/a>\u00a0is Kellie Mowat.
