The paynes grey mix would be a lovely addition for an evening scene, and with olive green, dark areas within trees and foliage. Thanks for sharing :)

This looks interesting, I shall have to catch up on the forum discussion.

thanks both - it was quite a useful exercise.

That looks like it has some punch to it and seems to make some good flesh colours in a certain part of the spectrum with yellows.

Thanks for sharing, it produces some very interesting hues. Must have a go.

That just sets my brushes tingling - gorgeous colour: it seems to keep its transparency almost irrespective of what it's mixed with: the mix with Payne's Grey was a revelation - I imagine you're using the W & N Payne's, or at least not D-R's. I can see that some might find it just a little too vivid for use in their landscapes - although the colour could be reduced much more - but imagine it in a sunrise or sunset, and for touches in flesh..

very useful to see your chart for the QOR Magenta Michael, thanks for posting...

The Magenta is a gorgeous colour but I think it is rather dominating in all the mixes .Tend to agree with Robert as to its limited use in landscapes . Great coolour for flower painters

Thanks everyone for your comments - yes I am using W&N Artists in all the mixes. I agree it is a little dominating but that may be me using the same consistency of mix with each colour - a bit watered down and the colour is a tad more muted.

I love this colour and have used it loads in my flower work. This chart will be great for me Michael so thanks for taking the time to do it.

Wow Michael.. thanks for those .

Great array of colours Michael, thank-you for sharing. Love the warm glow you get mixing with the yellows.

Following receipt of a free sample of this colour I did a quick chart mixing it with the colours which feature in my standard palette - this colour is part of a discussion in the forum so I thought I would share it here.
