Many years ago--my age is showing--I was given a simple formula for CPR/TH&B
maroon by the owner of Riley's Hobbies in Hamilton. It used Testor's gloss
paints (!). The formula is 4 parts dark red, one part blue, and one part white.
Of course, nowadays we have the various accurate CPR paints from various firms
and groups, but the Testor's mixture seemed to result in a nice colour for
indoor viewing.

Adding it. The idea is to lighten it without pink. Using a less "blue" red
to tone down the CP colour achieves that - although the mix is tricky.
Sometimes I wonder whether the result doesn't shift too red - but that is a
factor of the mix, not the method. Its like the school kids paint set -
put red and blue together and you get purple, but if you put in more blue it
shifts blue; put in more red (as suggested here) and it shifts red.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks Rob.
