This is excellent advice! With pipettes and such like, it is easy to be quite accurate in mixing colours, keep a notebook going about outcomes, adding a swatch of the colour you are mixing, and youll soon gather the knowledge and confidence to mix your own colours. This is especially useful for making filters and even modulating the layers on your model, to achieve a more authentic surface. Remember to add dark to light, especially if the tonal values are very different - e.g. Yellow and Black. This will save you a fortune in paint!!Mix a small quantity of paint on a palette until it looks right, then you'll know roughly what to do with your olive drab.
