I got lucky yesterday, but not with mixing.
I went to the model shop because I had run-out of Humbrol yellow acrylic. Browsing the rack, I noticed no.132 satin red. For the sake of £2.69, I decided to get one. What do you know?? It's as close-a match as anyone is likely to get without using one of those machines that B&Q use to match household paint. It just needs a coat of gloss lacquer.
But, this thread has jogged my memory about the intricacies of colour mixing. Hopefully it will help others.
