Reddit reviews The New Munsell® Student Color Set 3rd Edition

I think that book might be the older version. But I’m not quite sure. The New Munsell® Student Color Set 3rd Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1609011562/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jOZJBb32FK7MW
This is the copy I own.

The technique that my friend uses actually isn’t in the book. This book mostly focuses on the actual pigments in the paint, what color theory (we use as painters) for mixtures and color logic. Saturation and intensity as well as chroma.
The 1-10 value mixing is a fairly old technique, I have a feeling you would be able to find more information about it online, I’ll search to see if maybe my friend can send me some information.

You have a really large range of pigments on your palette. I think you should read about complimentary colors, and analogous colors. That will help greatly with mixing. For when you mix complimentary colors you can make all those greys you have on your palette.
If you read your tube of paints it will actually tell you what pigments are in it, as well as the oil they used to bind that paint together. If you look up the pigment on the tube, for instance you might have a blue that says PB for purple blue then a number on it which describes the intensity value and saturation from straight out the tube.
There’s just so much science into this it’s easy to get lost. I’d recommend maybe cutting down your palette to a smaller portion that way you really familiarize yourself with your mixtures. If not, I’d recommend making a giant color chart to see.
I’m fairly knew to reddit and I don’t really know how to maneuver around and such, but if you send me a personal message with your email I can send you documents and exercises of paint
