Hi all
Looking at Humbrol colour charts. 140, 147 and 28 all seem too blue.
Is there a true light grey or some colour I can add?
The ancient instructions I've is tiny amounts of HN4 and HB5 added to HG3!
Were I to reveal the subject, then all manner of prejudices will come into play so I'm keeping stumm.
Thanks in anticipation.

What about adding some black to some white?

Retouching at a later date! I'm not sure airbrush-thinned paint has a long shelf life.

A very valid reason.
I'm no help as I don't see blue in any of the H greys.
