 If I read it correctly, these are all Valspar Flat Ultra White and AAA. Should I assume these are all flat on the spectro? It seems like there are a lot of ways to get very close to the same number. Which Munsell grey do these hit?
One more... does 4:1:1 mean make a 4:1 mix then cut it in half with the Bermuda Beige mix or is it 4 parts plus one part plus one part? In other words, 32oz of BB, 8 oz of AAA, then 40oz of BB or 320z BB, 8oz AAA, 8oz BB?

tweak,
Lots of questions!
Yes they are all flat on the spectrums. They tail down a bit in the high reds but it's pretty close to infrared.
Define 'same number'!
I see three very distinct different shades of gray. The 3:1:1 and the 4:1:1 are pretty much the same though.
The Munsell grays are listed
here.
The X:X:1's are explained both there in the sticky and in the
further investigation part two thread where they were researched and developed. I have tested them with both flat and flat enamel and they produce identical results. The first number is Bermuda Beige, the second is AAA, and the third is Valspar Flat Ultra White in either flat or flat enamel.
Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, there are a number of bases that work with Black Widow - including flats.
And I can say that I've seen no difference between the flat and the flat enamel BW/AAA.
I thought you were sticking with the Do-Able?
