Love them all.
Surprised JP wasn't more matte.
HP is lovely, read later its for ^8? Seems okay though, I"m going to perservere.
14 is taken from my Currie grid test at Pine Street. Initially I'd chosen another square but later it crazed so I went with another mix that hadn't.

Now to test with colour!
