Just thought id share one of the ways i go about mixing up a custom color that youre trying to match. Sometimes the color will just be a hair darker than the usual colors used. What i do is i find the darkening color that i need to use and just simply overreduce it to break down the dominance of the darker color to mix in. Depending on how dark you need to make this color, depends on how much you reduce it. I do this a separate mixing cup before mixing the color together. Then i will just add a little bit of this darkening color as i mix it to bring it up to the tone im looking for.
For example, if i have say a yellowish, brownish color, i will take a cup off the yellow and set it off to the side. Then i a separate cup, i will mix up say an umber and really overreduce it. Then just add a drop or two at a time to bring it up to the tone i want. Using a separate piece of paper to gauge the tone to the tone im looking for. The moral to this is sometimes when using a darker color it can become to dominant even when using just one drop in your mix of the base color. Thus resulting in having to start over in the mixing process, and wasting paint cause you went a bit to dark than what you wanted.
The moral to this is to give you a bit of room to work and have more control in the color youre looking for. Hope this helps anyone who has ever encountered this problem for the future. :encouragement:
