In layman's terms, I think we hit the trifecta! So we took a completely neutral mix and added a white - which I have yet to measure any white neutral - and the result is a lighter more neutral mix.
So the question is, how light can we go? I'm thinking along the lines of a 2:2:1 (Bermuda : FUW : Auto Air) or a 1:3:1 (Bermuda : FUW : Auto Air).
I know that some of you are thinking about seeing full panels. But that will have to wait as my source of Auto Air Aluminum has run out since this mix was announced. At least in the convenient 4oz bottle size. Time to buy a quart I guess.
I'm curious as to whether or not we can achieve some kind of a balance for the lower lumen crowd.
As always I'm open to any input.

Wow!
Have you started with a white base and then tinted it to find the appropriate color to make BW neutral? In other words, do the same thing as last time...only instead of starting with Winter Mist (and ending up at Bermuda Beige), you'd start with White and end up with the lightest possible neutral-causing base. The same process would be followed, since you have it perfected.
At least, I think you started with W Mist...but maybe I'm
