If I ever actually learn how to make art on the computer, this'll come in handy. Hell, it'll probably come in handy with painting as well.

One question: What paint program do you use?
I use Sai and it's not the best for manually mixing paints.

I generally use Photoshop because I prefer it. I must confess I have no idea how to use Sai >_< It's SUPER easy to mix colors in PS.

Ahah, no problem, I can definitely work something out because it's too good to pass up.

I'd definitely want to put more colours into the mix, but the idea you gave about mixing another color to harmonise the 3, I think that's brilliant!

Glad that helped! Add warm colors to your base colors (like yellow) for scenes in sunlight and cool colors for night scenes. Makes choosing colors so much easier!
