I also keep track of HTML/RGB/CMYK codes and match colours that way.

I print out colour sheets/test swatches and make sure to include the necessary codes on those swatches
and then I keep these sheets for future reference.

I also keep colour sheets to show what colours look like when they come out of the printer
rather than rely on what I see on the screen.

If I have any uncertainty about the correct colour on a model,
I ignore whats on my screen and print the sheet to see it in person
and I usually show it to someone else for their verification of the colour(s).

And I still test build my own models. lol

What you do shows in the high-quality models you make Dave. I didn't know you are color blind. That makes the models you produce even more impressive.
