would you know how to make a creme colour ?  lots of creme carpet out there  , i got a call this week bleached white spots on creme wool carpet . I didnt take it on as i cant think how to match that colour ...  i can do darker colours ,   i coloured some grey spots a couple of weeks ago , their cleaner washed the door with some sort of bleach and it dripped down onto the grey carpet  :)

Yes i could make a creme colour, and there is a lot of creme carpet out there.
Some times the bleach takes out 1 or 2 of the primary colours and leaves behind a yellowish looking
spot.
Did you make your grey using water based dyes?

The grey i have was a bought grey off ebay  . jacquard acid dye .  I just add very hot water and a bit of citric acid .   Its a bit silvery so i added the tinyest bit of brown to darken it .
im no expert il admit  ...   
so the creme ?  im assured the carpet is snow white from the spotting product used  .
would u mix a tiny bit of yellow and brown ?       
I think i need some old carpet sample to practice  any of this .

Crème colour can be made by mixing the three primary colours together in the right quantities.
If you added yellow to brown, it would make it a darker brown due to yellow dye already being present in the brown.

In the colour training you will learn how to match ANY colour.   We utilize a custom colour app for learning how to precisely match colours.    The app will literally permit you to take a photo of the carpet or rug and will then automatically calculate the original colour.   It will then calculate the colour of the faded (bleached) area and by touching a button will automatically calculate EXACTLY which colours need to be added back in to bring the area back to an exact colour match.

Here's a link for the colour app.   It's called the "ColorCue".
