Thanks again, Karin!

Excellent point about "warm" and "cool".

A Winsor-Newton lemon yellow had been my "cool" yellow.

I, too, like to mix my own greens. I've used viridian only once (but am looking forward to using that beautiful color again somewhere); and for foliage I've either started with a Hooker's green or mixed my own, like you, from a yellow ochre and ivory black.

Come to think of it, that's not too far from what I found works best for the indigo denim of "blue jeans": Ultramarine plus raw umber (and, of course, white and black as need be).

I've enjoyed our "colorful" talks. Be well!
