My husband is a residential painter. Hopefully I will remember and ask him about it when he gets home.

I personally think that if you only do a couple red and and couple taupe, it would look nice and wouldn't darken up on you too much.

**Update, I just saw how old your originial post was, so it is probably too late for my input
