Renee,

Good for you, and lucky that you got one of the non-VIOLE(N)T tubes!

I'm still working on an entry, good luck to you!

Renee -

Hope you enter and win! This is a fun contest. I entered a few years ago and won some free paints. I got more pleasure out of choosing the colors than I ever did with winning a ribbon that only gets stashed away in a drawer.

The color keeps changing, which is part of the fun.

Great way for the company to use up their dust, and probably get some tax benefit as well as aid the environment.

It's a grey world.

Since materials were quite precious in their time, the "olde masters" recycled "slops" too . . . using the resulting indistinct neutral grays in monotone underpaintings (grisaille).

There is no such thing as "muddy color" . . . intrinsically. "Mud" is a color/value in the wrong place.

Good luck with the contest!
