    The Munsell wheel looks fantastic.
    I have yet to do this. I don't have all the colors.
    Also I am not sure about buying a $75 color that I will only use once.

    So right now I am mixing and seeing how close I can come to each color family.

    I remember Graydon saying getting 95% to the HVC is pretty good.

  2. Thank you, Jeff!

    The Wheel was so exciting to finish - seemed like busy work or like I was in 3 Grade doing a crafts project, not being a painter! But I look/use this all the time and am so glad I put in the effort. It gives me a good idea of where I am in ColorSpace. I could kick myself for not tubing these that were not straight from the commercial tube - even a 1/4 tube would be nice to have- cause many of these were really difficult to hit. However, that could be because my eyes were so new to seeing subtlety in h/v/c. I agree about the $75 colors, only if you know you'll use it or have extra cash to play with a beautiful color. Otherwise you can come very close with what you already have.
