I'm having trouble getting a color that I like that resembles BRG. I'm not an artist or a paint guy, and I know that BRG is not a "standard" color. What I want is something like this...
I suspect I don't have all the right pigments. I have the Colortone liquid versions of straight green, black, red, and white. The green is nearly black, it's so dark. So, add some white, right? No. Even small amounts make it look creamy. Add some black to compensate, and because of the white I've essentially added gray to the green, which is NFG. I'm pretty sure if I add red, it's going to turn it brown. So, this batch is going to color the inside of the sewer system.
I need help here. Anybody play with pigments much?
