I’m not sure Andy knows what blue he’s after. Only that he’ll know it when he sees it. :lol:

I've got the Foundry French/Prussian blue triads, of which I'm not a big fan of for 15s, as there's nearly zero contrast between layers at that size.

I think the best system is the Andrea series, which is six tones, that you can then mix as needed to arrive at nearly any blue you might want. Bit fiddly, I know, but I keep coming back to it.

I am reminded of “D.R. & Quinch”s little knitted waistcoats for lobsters.
