I have 9 shades of blue - all practically the same that I realise I could mix my self but when the painting guide says Eagles Nipple blue - that’s the one I need despite it been 2 drops of white lighter than Eagles Testicles blue

Bro, do you even lift...I mean...feldgrau?

Sadly, those aren't the only greys I have.  I've got about 8 or 9 others from Citadel, Army Painter speedpaints, and Scale 75.

SDR's original post was already funny, but this...this damn near killed me.  :ROFL:  :ROFL:  :ROFL:

It's the seamless layering and blending of testicle blue into nipple blue that's the real trick

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.  :ROFL:

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…😂
