How to mix
These ratios are practical starting points, not exact recipes. Pigment strength varies between manufacturers and paint ranges. Begin with the paint shown in the larger amount and add the second colour gradually. For a 1:1 mixture, begin with the first paint listed and add the second until the desired hue is reached.
Colour and greyscale
Why greyscale?
Different colours can have similar tonal values. Greyscale helps you see whether they separate as light and dark. This previews the screen swatches; actual paint values may differ.
Screen swatches are approximations of the hues, not exact paint matches.
