Hi Memaize,
Simone looks more neutral beigey than Raven. It has no golden color in it. I think the final chart (scanned color) is more accurate because my camera is a bit unreliable esp. at night with the flash.
I did the same thing with Raven! i mixed some Caprice (yes, it's quite orangey) and Amber and it worked, but I think the combo of Raven and Amber makes it a bit too light/ tad "ashy" because Amber is so pale.
You may have mentioned this before - what shades you wear in other brands?
Hoozey - Do you feel like a mad scientist?
I find it so interesting that several of us can wear LMG in Lumiere and in summer we are each branching off into different undertones/shades. It's so cool that you don't have to mix in Meow! I guess I can wear Chartreux on it's own but there's something about mixing up a *more perfect* shade that is so compelling and addictive, when you have all the ingredients in front of you.
