I tried mixing pigments once, and it was a bit of a disaster. The color ended up patchy and inconsistent. I think I added too much pigment at once. My advice would be to add a little at a time and mix well before adding more. It’s a bit of trial and error, but you’ll get there.

Combining umber and ochre sounds like it could create a really warm, earthy tone. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve seen some beautiful results online. Just remember that the type of lime wash you’re using can affect how the pigments behave, so it might be worth experimenting with small batches first.
