Yep. That's me. I see color, but my red-green color blindness makes subtle color sensing a challenge. Luckily, my wife checks my stuff before it goes out. And when she catches a mistake, I get sooooo mad (not at her... at me).Such is the case with my current project, an African-American conversion figure. My client wanted the skin color to be darker than the photos of a previous black dummy. So I mixed some Caucasian tone (white with burnt siena and a touch of naples yellow), then darkened it with raw umber. I thought it looked right. So after painting a few coats, my wife took a look.
Her verdict? Gun metal gray. (Ah, @#$%!)
She's going to help me remix some paint today.
