Paint choice for "Pullman"/Olive green? - Model Railroader Magazine

After reviewing this thread, it appears some do not have the correct mix of the primary colors to achive the desired color. So I thought I would pass this on, from my own experience and teaching.

This is basic color mixing guide. If you have 3 primary colors: RED, BLUE, YELLOW, and you want to make different color like:
* BROWN, then mix Red and Green together
* PURPLE, then mix Red and Blue together
* ORANGE, then mix Yellow and Red together
* GREEN, then mix Blue and Yellow together

If you want to LIGHTEN a color, ADD White or Clear into the base color. Be careful, White may create a MILKY look.

If you want to DARKEN a color, ADD Black into the base color. Be careful, black may make your color look dull or muddy. As in Pullman Green.
