we just rebuilt our prepress dept and viewing room, and gave these
recommendations a shot. i've been wanting to see how a more fully
neutral environment (walls plus ceiling, dark gray tile floors)
would work, but never felt like paying ~$35/qt for the GTI munsell n8
paint. finding these tips in the book were all the incentive i needed
to try it.
my experience:
didn't try pittsburgh paint, there are none around here (i believe).
the kelly-moore guys laughed at me. they don't have Violet in the
mixing set. out of date info, they suggested. no idea what this
means- store fulla dummies, regional/franchise inconsistencies...?
sherwin-williams, no problem. our results with the SW 2129 Zircom are
quite nice. a hair warmer than GTI's n8, a bit yellow, and several
shades lighter.
i did my server room first, just to see what working in a all gray
room would be like, without anyone but me having to suffer with the
results. i liked it.
so we did up the other two rooms to match, and we now have two big
gray rooms. everyone was stunned to find my hair-brained color scheme
to give such a livable result. i like the zircom a lot, good result
with no custom mixing or complications.
anyway, just FYI.

Real World Color Management passes on the following paint
recommendations, FWIW.
California photographer Jack Kelly Clark recommends mixing one
gallon of Pittsburgh Paint's pastel-tint white base #80-110 with Lamp
Black (B-12/48 PPG), Raw Umber (L-36/48 PPG), and Permanent Red
(O-3/48 PPG). Write those numbers down and take them with you to
the paint store if you want to try the mix yourself.
A similar Kelly-Moore Paint Co. formula from photographer John
Palmer uses a pastel-tint white as a base with three colors to create
an interior, flat latex similar to Munsell 8 gray: Lamp Black (4/48
PPG), Raw Umber (27/48 PPG), and Violet (2/48 PPG).
Sherwin-Williams paint code: 2129 ZIRCOM. You'll want flat paint
rather than glossy. (Matt Louis, Louis Companies, Arlington, Texas)
