A drop of purple or two into the mix should fix that.

Technically that would result in a "grey". Not your classic grey but a tertiary grey.

Thanks for suggestion, but the point is moot anyway; I sourced another base colour after diluting the remaining paint in the bottle was no longer viable

Broken yellows depending on the pigments will go brownish, if the purple skews it too far to grey add a bit of burnt sienna or orange.  You are going to get something interesting when you play with it, and when ever i mix paint too much…I WILL get to muddy brown at some point no matter where i started!

My basic approach to painting is never use pure tones, or anything straight out of a bottle, even if it’s a broken hue.  I strive for subtle individuality and variation in hue on every figure, even if it’s a freshly uniformed guard unit straight out of the supply depot.

A wet palette is my favourite tool.

Places that take used house paint and make it into batches of paint for people doing renos, end up with an oddly universal colour called San Francisco Brown. It’s an odd phenomenon!

I made the mistake of once mixing up a touch up batch for my wife’s kitchen wall.  Now she routinely asks me to alter house paint for her.  I keep telling her that it would cheaper and quicker to get a tin from the paint supplier from a chip, than for me to use my more expensive hobby paints in the quantity she needs, unless she needs just a small amount a really pale “beige”.  i bet it’s San Francisco Brown…
