Dane Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi all. I'm working on a project that involves 9129: Faded Khaki (and the rest of its triad). I need to go a few shades lighter than that for my highlights, but am not sure what would be best to lighten this color. because it's got that green tint to it, I'm hesitant to use a pure white. I've got a variety of colors to choose from: Linen White, Amber Gold/Golden Blond, Stained Ivory/Yellowed Bone/Creamy Ivory, and a bunch of others. In general, what tone or color would you use to lighten Faded Khaki? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Any of those will work, I might lean towards the ivories myself. If you have the colors just put some swatches down on a piece of paper or a 3x5 card and add those colors to the Faded khaki and see how it looks. Painting is all about experimenting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think the ivories would be your best bet, as a probably closer match to khaki colour (I am not familiar with that colour paint, so just a guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
