turn maroon into burgundy

[peter havriluk]

Folks, I hope I can get some advice.  I am decorating an HO railroad freight car whose decal instructions say the carbody is 'burgundy'.  I don't have any paint labeled such.  I do have some 'maroon'.  I'd like to tint enough of the maroon to more resemble burgundy.  Any suggestions?  Add some red?  Add some white?   Add something else?  I think managing color tint is a high art form and I am thoroughly over my head in trying to do this.

 

Thanks, folks.

You could use the iModelKit app to get you the mixing ratios (there's a free light version here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imodelkit-light/id393872482?mt=8).  It allows you to mix any paint manufacturer's products to match.  You can even match color's via your phone's camera.
