Hi, Dianne. I just saw your reply with feelings of gladness that you're back to answering questions.This must mean you're really on the mend.Thanks for your advice. Lookng forward to the coming quick tips! Carol

My advice is to learn to read hue. It is as important to the painter as knowing nouns from verbs is to the writer.

You are definitely on the right track. Training your eyes to see different colors is a good skill for painters for sure. Playing with color comparisons to analyze a potential LEANING in a color I believe is a good start to seeing what that color actually is. For example, Sand Color as you mentioned can be difficult to tell what hue is present in this color, but by doing primary color comparisons of BLUE, YELLOW, BLACK, WHITE, GRAY and other colors can guide the way to telling whether this color leans cool, warm, dark, light, grayish or towards other hues.

Thanks.
