Yes, I often use the anology of; "If I hit a bum note on my guitar, I will 
know it, and the tune will be ruined. If it sounds great, then I'm on the 
right tracks."

    I've heard this before with one of the commissions that I'm making. I 
think this is my colour blindness kicking in... I'm using Pink as the base 
colour for the metal (which is correct for rose gold), but then adjust it so 
that it looks like the metal that I work with, (to me).

    Maybe I should saturate the colours a little?
