On this build I'm mixing a little camel into a color called "olivine" green.

WOW a man who is not afraid to mess with paint. The color chart is a excellent idea. One of the things that makes paper models so fun is the coloring. I have bought so much art supplies until my wife thinks I am a painter. I like the name of the colors you are using to match the kit colors. I think colors that do not at least come close, take away from the build. Now don't get me wrong, do what is best for you, I just as I see you too, like to get in the ballpark on the color. Good work and I am watching your thread. I like the subject you picked.:D Rick
