I commend you for taking on such an exercise. This is a long, tedious project, but very instructive on colors and I'm glad for all the time I've spent on them, even though I'm not finished.

If you've read Richard Schmid's book, Alla Prima, he has a printed version of his color charts, which look to be exactly what you're trying to do. He says they are as color-accurate as he could possibly make them on the press and they have been indispensable for me as I've been working on making my own. I'd recommend purchasing his book.

To answer your question, at first glance, it does look like your dominant color is too dominant. Schmid's book will clear that up for you so you can see what Clayton J. Beck III was suggesting to do. I just moved to a new house and had a new baby, otherwise I'd offer to upload some photos of my handful of completed charts if you don't get a chance to order the book!
