I could go through a critique of this process with considering issues of monitor and printer color calibrations, but I admire our contemporary 'Itten' (him with Albers were the color theorists of the Bauhaus and codified color systems) for putting so much effort into this system- i cannot help but be in awe.
What Don neglected to tell you is that through all his iterations of
working this 'system' through is that he developed a sensitivity to
seeing which also can be acquired with many years of painting or study.
It really makes for some interesting ways of seeing/analyzing color
and worth the research.
acrylic dries from 10-15 percent darker than what it looks like wet.
