colored clay or Paint?

Kwe Kwe Hello again, I see some companies make clays in myriad colors
while others are single color. What's the consensus, make from multi
color clays or Paint after firing?
I'd guess for bead making multi color clays are the only way to go
tho.

Nia:wen Thank you

Depends on what you are making. As you learn about polymer clay, you
will learn that we have developed, over the years, may way of creating
wonderful patterns and special effects that rely on the use of clays
of different colors. But some people do things such as sculptures
where using a base color with paint afterward is more pragmatic.

Go to www.polymerclaycentral.com for a lot of information, including
some good books and tutorials.
