Mercken's Color Chart.

The Following Merckens candy color table may vary in contrast with different monitor settings. Use it only for a rough idea on how to aquire "close" colors.

To use the chart find the Merckens color close to your desired color, and experiment from there. To use this chart the references used are for the Merckens Rainbow colored chips/rounds/melts, as an example to aquire the Merckens color in row 2 column 3 you must use 20 Merckens yellow chips, 11 Merckens white chips, and 1 Merckens blue chip. Melt and mix/stir these together, your color should be very close to what we show here. To vary or achieve your desired color, start with something close and add Merckens Candy melts as needed to gain your desired color.

You can also convert the Merckens specs here over to ounces or pounds using the same formula. As an example to again aquire the color in Row 2 Column 3 instead of using the chips as a count you would use ounces as 20 ounces of Merckens yellow, 11 ounces of Merckens White and 1 ounce of merckens blue.
