Colour selection

[Martok]

^  If done right, I imagine you can't even tell the difference!

If you couldn't tell the difference, that could be one encounter you may want to keep to yourself. Maybe Spock will find out with his mind meld. 

I think Spock would understand perfectly well any difficulty I might have in distinguishing between similar shades of blue.   

The real reason I own and use multiple shade variations of the same base color are to me somewhat reasonable.

1. Painting mass armies it’s easier and less frustrating to have the exact same colors for uniforms. Yes, historical uniforms always had some color differences due to dyes used and how long the uniforms were in use before  being issued another one. Confederate armies are very notable on this front when painting the “butternut” uniforms.

2. Not all paints are created equal. Some have better coverage or have different consistency so I continuously try new paints.

3. I am a weak willed and when I go buy one paint I leave the store with multiple paints…😂

You could have just led with that last one.  We won't judge.

I didn't want to admit having done the same in the past.

Don't worry, Bawb.  I think we kinda knew that already.

My figure painting days have been over for quite a while now, and I really do miss it.
