I know I am going to give it more of a try than I have in the past. Last night, after reading this, I set up a 3 primaries plus 2 neutrals in a white plastic first aid travel kit.

I used to avoid Thalo blue because it was so strong and is so staining, but now I like it because it is so strong and bright and makes such a wonderful black and greens. Now I know how to make it more Ultramarine! Funny how we consider colors and "make friends" with them, isn't it?
