Ok you're my new hero! The question, how do you master the color matching?

Haha you’re very sweet, thanks!
Honestly, color matching takes a lot of time to master. A lot of trial and error. I can’t even begin to tell you how much paint I’ve used up trying to nail down a color that I have to replicate. It’s good to experiment, and also to look at color wheels and color charts. Whatever color you need to replicate, take a gooooooood long stare. Is it a warm color? Probably add some yellows, oranges, reds, maybe pinks, to add warmth. Is it a cooler color? Maybe try adding blues, greens, maybe even purple. Just don’t go straight for adding black to darken a color, because it’ll just desaturate your color, unless a muted tone what you’re going for. If you want to make a darker color, use a darker pigmented paint or mix in browns or blues. Use tiny bits of paint to experiment mixtures until you think you’ve found the right ratio of colors, and then feel free to use more paint. Just so it doesn’t go to waste.
Sorry if that was a really long explanation, but I am very thorough haha. Good luck!!! :D
