The screen mix developers here at HTS have been accused of being prejudiced against all mica-based mixes.
I would still recommend the Elektra™ N8.5 mix over this Behr SS/pearl mix, but if one already had one screen or the other I don't think they would see a significant difference by changing to the other mix when it comes to handling ambient light, which is governed primarily by the shade of the mix. so my results may differ from his screen. I need to state categorically that I did not test the actual pearl paint (Behr White Opalescent Pearl) used by Oleson, M.D. All mixes were N8.5 in the Munsell gray scale. The results were surprising in that all the resulting mixes were VERY color neutral and showed NO color-shifting due to the mica in the pearl paints refracting light, the SS controlled the refraction nicely at this ratio. Through other research I knew that most "white pearl" paints are very similar so I made up some test batches of the above 3:2 mix using white pearl paints I had on hand. In order to know what his screen truly looked like I went to Home Depot and purchased some Behr 'Silver Screen' paint, but the Behr *** is no longer available. His current screen was a mix that I wasn't familiar with that consisted of Behr 'Silver Screen' and Behr 'White Opalescent Pearl' mixed in a 3:2 ratio (60% SS + 40% ***). Recently a new member (Oleson, M.D.) joined this forum.
