How to read it
- The first squares: each tube alone, then towards white (tints) and towards black (shades).
- The pairs: from the left tube to the right one in five steps that look evenly spaced. “3 : 1” means 3 parts of the left tube for 1 of the right one.
- A printer cannot show every paint colour: compare the steps between squares rather than the hues themselves.
