Color Mixing Tip: 

Mixing with grey will commonly cause your Hue to shift (an unwanted color change) These shifts are accentuated if the grey is somewhat bluish, as results from mixing most black paints with white. Understand- the black paint you have is not pure black. It is a very, very dark violet or blue. 

You can fix this unwanted shift of hue by adding a tiny amount of paint to your mix so that it brings it back the other direction on the color wheel. 

Example: If your yellow starts shifts toward green, add a tiny amount of strong orange or scarlet to it to send it back the other direction on the color wheel.
