"Draw Mix Paint" has a pretty good tutorial on the topic. His technique boils down to the following: 1. Always prioritize matching value. - Is the object more darker or lighter than the paint you currently have? Yeah? Then add either brown or yellow or white to change that. - Oh, but the color isn't even the same? Yeah don't worry about that yet. More importantly, match the value. Then worry about color. 2. Match the color tone next. - Ask yourself "Is my object more red? More yellow? More blue? More purple? More ext?" If the object (example) is more purple, then add more purple to paint. If the paint is TOO purple, then add other paint to take away/nullify that purple, then match. 3. As a result of mixing, the value (darkness or lightness) will change. So now you need to adjust that again before making more changes. - repeat until you get the color you want. There's some really good books on painting which gives true-to-tone color matches that also lists not only the paint involved, but ALSO the proportions you'd use. This doesn't match the colors perfectly, but DOES give you good hints/starting points to aim for.
YES I know his channel and uts very valuable indeed. All the facts you wrote are 100% correct. The most important thing is practice all the time. Thank you so much for sharing
One of my projects in a color theory course in college was to use only blue, yellow, red, and white to match colors to a patterned fabric. The fabric was draped over half of a board. On the other half, we had to duplicate the pattern and paint with the colors we matched. The goal was to be unable to tell the difference between the fabric and our painting from across the classroom. It was very fun and interesting.
