Thank you everyone!

I finally managed to get great colors. The solution was to use much more coloring in homemade CCB (I tested with Jim D's method) and the second white opaque layer (made with white coloring, not just white CH).
 

 

I like to hear that. How many flowers do you use per 100 g of CB? I was thinking about buying powerflowers, but couldnt calculate the cost, since idk the dilution.

 

Does it mean Roxy & Rich is opaque enough or do you mix something in? I tried mixing white with green or yellow, to safe time with the white bacground CCB, but it was unsuccessful and I needed to do white 2nd coat anyway. Would love to know because that cuts spraying time in half (I am more concerned about avoiding CB clouds :D).

Don't really know - more like the proportions based on the colour cards that come with the power flowers. 
 

I seem to recall some weights that we discussed a long time ago when making colours from powders - also that you added a small amount of another primary colour and perhaps a bit of dark chocolate to some. Vague memory that it was something I learned in Belgium. Have to do some searching -
