Here’s what you will need:
Dry Non-Sanded Grout (purchased this huge tin at our local City Mill hardware store for $1.50…this will probably last me forever)
[easyazon-block align=”center” asin=”B001JPBFXG” locale=”us”]
Acrylic craft paints -White, Black, and Bright Magenta (Apple Barrel line by Plaid, found at Wal-mart)
NOTE: Our craft stores here on the island are somewhat lacking, so I wasn’t able to find anything perfectly matching Honeysuckle. I will give you my “formula” with those combined colors.
Measuring spoons and cups
Mixing cup or bowl
Paint brush or stick to stir
Step 1) Measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of the non-sanded grout and put in your mixing cup (this is very dusty, so please do this in a well-ventilated area).
Step 2) Pour in 1/4 cup of the Pepto Bismol Bright Magenta craft paint.
Step 3) Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of white acrylic craft paint.
At that point, I really liked the color, but I was going for perfection, and I had the Pantone website up and was trying my very best to match what I saw on the screen. I could tell I needed to mute it slightly with some black.
Step 4) Add 1/8 teaspoon black acrylic craft paint.
Step 5) Stir for a couple minutes with a cheap paintbrush or stick.
