I, too, used to find mistints at a local paint supply outlet.  Then I
decided that when the time comes to repaint I would be better off if my
equipment was all one colour so I changed back to white.
 
While my logic was sound, I look back and see that I made this decision
about 15 years ago and have not yet done any significant amount of
repainting.
