How do you measure value/color ?




I found this site about a measuring method for finding the correct mixture:

http://www.thecardermethod.com/students.html

It seems to be a clever way to compare the actual mixture on the palette, to the motif.

Has anybody tried this Carder Method ? I made the tool but have a problem with glare.

Mostly I find the values etc. by comparison directly between the motif and my painting, then mixing on the palette what I think is right and testing by placing a little dab on the painting.

I find it intriguing to be able to decite the correct value/color by comparing the mixture directly to the motif.

How do you find the correct value / color / intensity ?
