Im working on a mini at the minute and im trying to acheive a very specific shade of green for one item of clothing. I have found a paint in my collection that is a nice shade, just the right amount of saturation. But it is too light. I tend to put the midtone down first but for what im...

Hi, Just wondering is there a way to make a colour less saturated, without changing how light it is? I find allot of colours in paintranges are nice and all but are a bit too striking and instense for my style, i prefer more muted/subtle colours. So i'm wondering if there is a way to tone them...
