I started with two shades of red, two shades of blue, and two shades of yellow. One on the warm side and one on the cool side for each color, and mixed them in different combinations to get different shades of each secondary color and then neutrals

I had so much fun doing the color matching from paint sample cards. When the colors were first mixed they matched a lot better. I am using really cheap paper so the colors didn't absorb well and don't look like they match as well as they really did originally.

I have discovered that I really enjoy color matching and kind of have an intuitive knack for it. I am looking forward to doing some other projects on better paper so that the colors stay more true to my original mix.

Yeah, I did LOTS of color matching and almost got carried away...
