One example I have a bottle of createx sunrise yellow. the paint has a slight pigment of orange to it. I though great color. sorta like a orangie yellow,
I backed with white. (wrong) came out a pale yellow stl nice but not what I was hoping for.
If anyone can give any isight on this color and future painting color tips would be great.
In general the lighter the backing color the lighter the transparent will be. In your example if you'd backed with yellow you'd have goten the color you see in the bottle. If you'd backed with silver it would have had a golden-greenish tone to it. I just did a test strip with porn star pink(an auto air color) and backed with white its a violet-pink and backed with silver its a magenta color.
