Now if we could only note on the Munsell color wheel, where actual tube colors lie, we would have the best of all worlds.

I have learned something new from the discussion in this thread. For more than 50 years I have been using complements or split complements to gray my primaries. Having a neutral gray makes a lot of sense. It is such a simple idea, one wonders why we haven't thought of it before.

Question for Marvin: do you use an actual neutral gray or just a touch of black? If a neutral gray, what value do you recommend?
