Ooh! I completely forgot that studios have their own paint
mixes. However, in practicality, the problem then becomes
finding the right kind of reference cel - which I'm sure
would be very difficult if you bought, say, one OAV Lodoss
cel and never planned on buying another again. But, if the
cel is from a reputable source (not necessarily EBay ^_-),
I guess there's nothing to worry about.
