Hello, i am going to make replicas of some ancient beads. The biggest problem is matching the colors. Most of archeological finds of blue beads has very beautiful blue color, but when i try to match blues from different manufacturers, it is always something in between of two colors..
and of course, not all palettes of available colors are wisely presented, so i am in a big risk of choosing not the right blue for my work. Maybe someone can give an advise? I add two photos (1 and 2) of one blue, which i need; and the third photo is a different blue. Not much of the color can be seen, sorry, this is very old bead, and not the best photographer (me), the bead is a bit dirty too, but i guess you are able to see this gorgeous color
The new colors can be a little brighter than those in my photos, because those now appear darker than they might have been one thousand year ago
Any advise would be a big help.
