The question is ambiguous. "Turkish color" isn't a specific color. To answer, we need to clarify what is meant by "Turkish color." There are a few interpretations:
1. Creating a Color Inspired by Turkish Art and Culture
Many colors are associated with Turkish art, such as the deep blues seen in Iznik pottery or the vibrant jewel tones found in carpets. There isn't one single "Turkish color." To achieve a specific color reminiscent of Turkish aesthetics, you would need to:
- Identify a specific color: Choose a color from a Turkish artwork, like the deep blue of Iznik pottery or a specific shade of turquoise found in carpets.
- Analyze the color: Determine if the color is a primary color, or a mix of others. For example, a turquoise can be achieved by mixing blue and green.
- Mix the pigments: Using paints, dyes or inks, combine the necessary base colors (like blue and green for turquoise) to recreate the desired shade. Experiment with ratios until you achieve a close match. The referenced YouTube video on mixing turquoise shows how adding more blue or green shifts the hue.

Example: To recreate a deep, rich blue like that found on some Turkish ceramics, you might start with a base of ultramarine blue and then add a touch of black for depth.
2. Creating the Color of Turkish Delight
Turkish delight comes in various colors. Achieving these colors involves food coloring.
- Choose a color: Select the desired color for your Turkish delight (e.g., pink, red, white).
- Use food coloring: Add food coloring to your Turkish delight recipe. The intensity depends on the desired color and the brand of food coloring used. One recipe mentions that the color may fade. (https://aegeandelight.com/authentic-turkish-delight-recipe-from-narnia/)
Example: For a light pink, use a small amount of pink food coloring. For a vibrant red, use more red food coloring.
3. Colors in the Turkish Language
This interpretation involves learning the Turkish words for colors, not mixing colors. The following YouTube video teaches Turkish colors: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlhLxH1BMwU)
In conclusion, "making Turkish color" requires specifying the intended context. The process differs significantly depending on whether you are mixing paints, using food coloring, or learning the Turkish words for colors.
